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. Be seated
with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Press the cover release button to open the arm
cuff compartment. Remove the cuff and tubing.
3. Insert the cuff connector into the unit, Fig. 1.
4. Widen or open the cuff by pulling or
rolling the bottom of the cuff
towards the right, Fig. 2. This
should open the cuff, creating a
cylinder. Do not extend the cuff
beyond the metal bar.
5. Insert your arm into the cuff (cylinder). Position the ( ) mark over
the main artery (on the inside of your arm), Fig. 3.
6. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned
approximately one inch ABOVE the elbow joint, Fig. 4.
7. Reaching underneath your left arm with your right hand,
pull the end of the cuff towards your body to tighten the
cuff, Fig. 5. Wrap and secure the cuff making sure that
the ( ) mark remains as shown, Fig. 3.
8. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm.
You should be able to insert two fingers between your arm
and the cuff.
NOTE: The cuff size is suitable for use when the vertical
"Index" mark is within the horizontal "OK" range. A different
sized cuff is needed if the "Index" mark is outside of the "OK"
range.
