Correct Posture - Sanitas SBM 29 Instrucciones Para El Uso

The cuff should be placed on the up-
per arm so that the lower edge is 2
to 3 cm above the bend of the el-
bow and above the artery. The tube
should be in line with the centre of
the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around
the arm, and fix it with the Velcro fas-
tener. The cuff should be fitted tight
enough to allow just two fingers to
fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket
for the cuff attachment.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference
of 22 to 30 cm.
