Selecting the Correct Cuff Size

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff
that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct
blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is
higher than the correct blood pressure. With your arm hanging at the
side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the
midpoint between the shoulder and elbow.
Arm size
16.5-23.6" (42-60 cm)
14.2-17.7" (36-45 cm)
9.4-14.2" (24-36 cm)
The Extra Large Cuff is designed to accommodate larger arm sizes
measuring from 16.5-23.6" (42-60 cm). This cuff is contoured to
provide you with a quick and comfortable fit.

Applying the arm cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around the
upper arm, about 0.5" (1-2 cm)
above the inside of the elbow,
as shown.
2. Place the cuff directly against
the skin, as clothing may
cause a faint pulse and result
in a measurement error.
Constriction of the upper
arm, caused by rolling up
a shirtsleeve, may prevent
accurate readings.
