evenly around your arm. Press the hook
and loop material together to secure.
Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the
cuff and your arm.
8. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward)
so the cuff is at the same height as your
heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.
Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be
placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should
be made using the same arm.
To use on the right arm, you must position the artery
symbol " " over the main artery. Locate the main artery
by pressing with two fingers
approximately 1" (2 cm) above the
bend of your elbow on the inside
of your right arm. Identify where
the pulse can be felt the strongest.
