The bottom of the cuff should be approx.

should lie over the brachial artery on the
inside of the arm.
If the cuff is properly positioned the tube

should be running down your arm as in the
illustration to the right.
Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom
•
edges are snug around your arm. Do not
tighten to the point of being uncomfortable.
When the cuff is positioned properly,
•
press the Velcro firmly against the pile
side of the cuff.
Sit in a chair and place your arm on the
•
table so that the cuff is at the same level

continue going back and forth for 1 minute before the
monitor goes into "rest" mode.

If the systolic or diastolic rate of your reading result is greater
than (not equal to) your set personalized level the screen will
flash. In addition the measurement that is out of range, either
systolic or diastolic, will flash. If both are out of range both will
flash.
