6. Center tube over middle of arm.
7. Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens
evenly around your arm. Press the hook
and loop material together to secure.
Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between
the cuff and your arm.
8. 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.
Note:
• The device should not be used when your arm is wounded
or injured.
• If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be
placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should
be made using the same arm.
• To use on the right arm, you must
position the artery symbol
the main artery. Locate the main
artery by pressing with 2 fingers
approximately 1" (2 cm) above the
bend of your elbow on the inside of
your right arm. Identify where the
pulse can be felt the strongest. This
is your main artery.
