TITLE

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF

1. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the

hook material will be on the outside of
the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will
not touch your skin.

2. If the cuff is not assembled, pass

the end of the cuff furthest from
the tubing through the metal D-ring
to form a loop. The smooth cloth
should be on the inside of the cuff loop.

3. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the

floor and place your arm on a table
so that the cuff is at the same level
as your heart.

4. Put your arm through the cuff

loop. The bottom of the cuff should
be approximately 1-2 cm
above the elbow. The Green
Marker on the cuff should lie
over the brachial artery on the
inside of the arm. Tube
should run down center of
arm approximately even
with middle finger.
