c. The cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart.
Note: Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition.
Apply the cuff
a. Pull the cuff end through the metal loop, positioning it outward (away from your body).
b. Place a bare arm through the cuff and position the cuff 1/2"(1-2cm) above the elbow joint.
c. Tighten the cuff by pulling it towards your body, securing it closed with the Velcro fastener.
d. While seated, place your hand, palm-side up, in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or table.
When the left arm (blue arrow points down to the hand) is measured, position the monitor in the
middle of your arm so that it is aligned with your middle finger.
When the right arm (red arrow points down to the hand) is measured, position the monitor in
the middle of your arm so that it is aligned with your middle finger.
e. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You should be able to insert one
finger between your arm and the cuff.
Remember to:
1. Make sure that the appropriate cuff size is used; refer to the cuff circumference range in the
Specifications section of this manual.
2. Measure on the same arm each time.
3. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your arm, body or the monitor.
