Avoid rolling up long
*
sleeves, as this may
lead to constriction
of blood flow to the
measurement arm.
2) Positioning the cuff and device – Fit the cuff
closely, but not too tight. Make sure that the cuff
is 2~3 cm (1 inch) above the elbow with the tube
on the inside of the arm. The measurement tube
should point upward and be mounted over the
patient's shoulder.
Adjust the tube holder on the belt of the
*
pouch so it is properly positioned on the
shoulder. Attach the tube to the holder
so the tube goes up over the shoulder to
the other side of the body. An alternative
method is to use a waist belt.
