5.3. Fitting the cuff
a) Pass the end of the cuff through the flat
metal ring so that a loop is formed. The
Velcro™ closer must be facing outward.
(Ignore this step if the cuff has already been
prepared.)
b) Place the cuff over the left upper arm so that
the tube is closer to your lower arm.
c) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make
certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies
approximately 3/4" to 1"(2 to 3cm) above the
elbow and that the tube is closer to the inner
side of the arm.
Important! The small white arrow (Artery
Mark) on the cuff must lie exactly over the
artery which runs down the inner side of the
arm.
d) Tighten the cuff by pulling the end and close
the cuff by affixing the Velcro™.
e) There should be little free space between the
arm and the cuff. You should able to fit 2 fin-
gers between your arm and the cuff. Clothing
must not restrict the arm. Any piece of cloth-
ing which does must be removed. Cuffs that
don't fit properly result in false measurement
values. Measure your arm circumference if
you are not sure of proper fit. Larger cuffs are
available (Section 3B).
f) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the
cuff is at the same height as your heart.
Make sure the tube is not kinked.
g) Remain seated quietly for at least two
minutes before you begin the measurement.
