7. Attach the cuff: Hold the area of the cuff where the
hose exits the cuff firmly against the inside of the
bare upper arm directly over the brachial artery,
and the bottom of the cuff approximately one inch
(2-3cm) above the elbow, as shown in the third pic-
ture at right. Never place the cuff over clothing.
Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the
arm and secure with the Velcro® fastener. The cuff
should be snug, but not too tight. If one or two fin-
gers can fit between the cuff and the arm, the cuff
is properly secured. If you are unable to fit the cuff
as described above, a smaller or larger cuff should
be used.
