3.4 Applying the cuff

Before you apply the cuff, insert the
red cuff connector into the red cuff
socket on the left side of the
device.
Measurement should be taken on
the naked upper arm. If your cuff is
completely open, thread the end of
the cuff through the metal hoop, so
as to form a loop. In this instance,
the Velcro fastener must be on the
outside. Grasp the cuff by the grip
tab (see illustration in the inside
cover of the instructions for use)
and wrap this over the upper arm.
The recess (see illustration in the
inside cover of the instructions for
use) in the cuff, opposite the grip
tab, should lie in the bend of the
elbow. The tube should lie in the
centre of the bend of the elbow,
pointing towards the hand.
Now lightly bend your arm, take
the free end of the cuff, wrap it
firmly round your arm and close the
Velcro fastener.
