Choosing the Right Cuff
For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct
sized cuff which fits best your upper arm. Choose the cuff size
according to your arm circumference and make sure the bottom
of the cuff is 2-3 cm above your elbow. (Fig. 3)
Small/Medium Cuff (BP 4000, BP 4020, BP 5000) =
23-33 cm arm circumference
Large/XLarge Cuff (BP 4010, BP 4020, BP 5010) =
33-43 cm arm circumference
Applying the Arm Cuff
1. Press your brachial artery by two fingers above the elbow on the
inside of your left arm. (Fig. 4)
2. Determine where your strongest pulse is. Slide the end of arm cuff
elbow furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop. The
smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff.
