Fitting the Cuff Correctly
1. Connect the air plug of the tubing to
the air jack of the monitor.
2. Assemble the cuff as shown on the
right. The smooth surface should be
inside the cuff loop and the metal D-ring
should not touch your skin.
3. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of
you with your palm facing up. Slide and
place the cuff onto your arm with the air
tube and artery mark region (in red)
toward the lower arm.
Wrap and tighten the cuff above your
elbow. The red line on the edge of the
cuff should be approximately 0.8 to 1.2
inches (2 to 3 cm) above your elbow.
Align the tube over the main arteries on
the inside.
