5.3. Fitting the Cuff

a) The cuff is pre-formed for easier use. Remove
tight or bulky clothing from your upper arm.
b) Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm.
The rubber tube should be on the inside of
your arm extending downward to your hand.
Make certain the cuff lies approximately 1/2"
to 3/4" (1 to 2 cm) above the elbow.
Important! The red strip on the edge of the
cuff ( rtery Mark) must lie over the artery
which runs down the inner side of the arm.
c) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm
and press the velcro together.
d) 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. ny 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.
e) 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.
f) Remain seated quietly for at least two
minutes before you begin the measurement.
