Fitting the Blood Pressure Monitor

1. Attaching the cuff to the upper
arm.
• Make sure the cuff is wrapped so
that it is in contact with the skin.
Measurements may be taken
from either the left or right
3
arm. However, please take
measurements using the same
arm each time, because there
is said to be a blood pressure
difference of approx. 10 mmHg
between the left and right.
2. Fasten firmly, but not too tight.
• Optimally, there should be enough
room to insert one finger between
the cuff and arm.
• Make sure your sleeve does not
get in the cuff.
• Firmly attach using the hook-and-
loop tape.
Positioning on the Upper Left Arm
• Position so that
the tube extends in
line with the little finger
on the palm side.
Positioning on the
Upper Right Arm
Wrap the cuff around
the arm 2 to 3 cm
(25/32" to 1-3/16")
above the elbow.
