Applying The Cuff - HMM Diagnostics smartLABeasy User Manual

Applying the cuff

Place the cuff around a bare wrist 1-2cm above the wrist joint
on the palm side of the wrist.
• While seated, place the arm with the cuffed wrist in front
of your body on a desk or table with the palm up. If the
cuff is correctly placed, you can read the LCD display.
• The cuff must be neither too tight nor too loose. You
should be able to insert one finger between the cuff and
your wrist.
Note:
• Always measure on the same wrist each time.
• Do not move your arm, body, or the monitor and do not move the
rubber tube during measurement.
• Stay quite, calm for 5 minutes before blood pressure measurement.
• If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor and clear it by
hand in a mild detergent, then rinse it thoroughly in cold water. Never
dry the cuff in clothes dryer or iron it.
