Selecting The Correct Cuff Size; Applying The Arm Cuff - A&D UA-1020 Instruction Manual

Selecting the Correct Cuff Size

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. If the cuff is
not the proper size, the reading may yield an incorrect blood pressure value.
The arm size is printed on each cuff.
The arm cuff is a consumable. If it becomes worn, purchase a new one.
Arm Size
31 cm to 45 cm
17 cm to 32 cm
Arm size: The circumference of the biceps.

Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper
arm, about 1-2 cm above the
inside of the elbow, as shown.
Place the cuff directly against the
skin, as clothing may cause a faint
pulse, and result in a measurement
error.
2. Constriction of the upper arm,
caused by tightly rolling up a
shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate
readings.
