Applying The Arm Cuff - Lumiscope 1130 User Manual

Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Plug in the cuff connecting tube into the unit.
2. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the "Index" end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff.
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The "OK" range indication should be positioned closer
to yourself with the rubber tube pointing in the direction of your arm. Position the artery
mark ( ) over the main arteries (on the inside of your arm) in the upper arm.
Tighten the cuff by pulling the "Index" end of the cuff.
4. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of
the arm cuff at approximately 2 to 3 cm above the
inner side of the elbow joint.
5. If the Index line falls within the OK range,
indicated at the edge of the cuff, this cuff is
suitable for your use. If the Index line falls
out of the OK range, you may need a special
cuff for measurement. Please visit
