Choosing the right cuff
For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct size cuff which best fits your upper
arm. Choose the cuff size according to your arm circumference and make sure the bottom of the cuff is
2~3cm above your elbow.
• Small/Medium Cuff = 22~32cm arm circumference
• Large/XLarge Cuff = 32~42cm arm circumference
• This cuff is suitable for use if the <<index>> mark falls within the <<ok range>> marked by two
arrows when the cuff is tightened around your arm (Fig. 3).

Applying the arm cuff
1. Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop.
The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff.
2. Plug the air hose into the connector (Fig. 4).
3. If the cuff is located correctly, the velcro will be on the outside of the cuff and the metal ring will
not touch the skin (Fig. 5).
