APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE LEFT WRIST
1. Roll up sleeve. Make sure your sleeve is not rolled up
too tightly on your arm. This may constrict the flow of
blood in your arm.
2. Put your arm through the cuff loop. Your palm
should face upward. The blood pressure monitor
should be facing straight up.
3. Position the cuff leaving a clearance of approximately
1/2 inch (1-2 cm) between the cuff and the bottom of
your palm.
4. Wrap the wrist cuff around your wrist. Do not apply over
clothing.
NOTE: Make sure the wrist cuff does not cover the
protruding part of the wrist bone on the
outside of the wrist.
