Applying Your Blood Pressure Cuff

Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol consumption or physical
activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If you are exhibiting signs of
stress, avoid taking your measurement until the feeling subsides. Rest 15
minutes prior to taking a reading.
NOTE: If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm,
please modify the following instructions and apply the cuff to your right
arm. Your physician can tell you which arm is best for you to use.
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with the
cuff placement.
2. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor.
3. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing UP and AWAY
from you. The metal bar on the cuff should be to the left of the tubing.
4. Widen or open the cuff by pulling or rolling
the bottom of the cuff towards the right,
Fig. 1. This should open the cuff, creating a
cylinder. Do not extend the cuff beyond the
metal bar.
5. Insert your left arm into the cuff (cylinder).
Position the ( ) mark over the main artery
(on the inside of your arm), Fig. 2.
