Applying The Cuff:
The comfortable upper arm cuff may be applied to either the left or right arm. It
will fi t arms ranging from 8” ~ 14” in circumference. Please consult the following
chart to ensure correct application.
Apply the cuff 2 - 3 cm (1 - 1.25 in.) above the elbow, with the orange align-
ment indicator positioned over the main arteries in the arm.
The cuff should be loose enough to fi t two fi ngers between it
and the user’s arm.
LEFT ARM ALIGNMENT
The sensor cord should lead to the
wrist and along the middle fi nger.
RIGHT ARM ALIGNMENT
The sensor cord should follow the in-
side of the elbow to the pinky fi nger.
Do not apply the cuff over clothing.
Roll sleeves up so that the cuff is in contact with the skin.
If the cuff is too loose, an error message and arm cuff icon will appear on the
display screen. Reapply the cuff properly.
Keep the monitor, arm cuff and heart at the same height.
