Positioning the wrist cuff

It is important to properly position the wrist cuff to ensure that you receive an accurate reading.

1.Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc.) from your left wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left arm, use your right wrist.

2.Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.

3.Apply the cuff to your left wrist with your palm facing up (Figure 6a).

4.Position the edge of the cuff about 1 centimeter from the bottom of your palm (Figure 6b).

5.Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra room between the cuff and your skin. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement will be inaccurate (Figures 6c – 6d).
