Applying Your Blood Pressure Cuff
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the appropriate cuff:
Standard Cuff fits arm circumference 11-3/4" – 16-1/2" (30-42 cm)
Large Cuff fits arm circumference 16-1/2" – 18-7/8" (42-48 cm)
NOTE: If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm, please modify the
following instructions and apply the cuff to your right arm. Your
physician can tell you which arm is best for you to use.
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with the cuff placement.
2. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor.
3. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing UP
and AWAY from you, Fig. 1. The metal bar on the cuff should
be to the left of the tubing.
4. Widen or open the cuff by pulling or rolling the
bottom of the cuff towards the right, Fig. 2. This
should open the cuff, creating a cylinder. Do not
extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
5. Insert your arm into the cuff (cylinder). Position the
(
) mark over the main artery (on the inside of
your arm), Fig. 3.
6. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned
approximately one inch ABOVE the elbow joint, Fig. 4.
7. Reaching underneath your left arm with your right
hand, pull the end of the cuff towards your body to
tighten the cuff, Fig. 5. Wrap and secure the cuff
making sure that the (
) mark remains as shown, Fig.
3.
8. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm.
You should be able to insert two fingers between your arm
and the cuff.
NOTE: The cuff size is suitable for use when the vertical "Index"
mark is within the horizontal "OK" range. A different sized cuff is
needed if the "Index" mark is outside of the "OK" range.
Proceed only after reading the previous sections of this manual.
