Do not cross legs and keep you feet flat on floor during measurement.

Cuff Size Indicator on the LifeSource AccuFit™ Cuff

The LifeSource AccuFit™ cuff has an indicator which tells you wheth- er you are using the correct cuff size or not. Place the cuff on your arm (see Page E-9 to learn how to put the cuff on correctly) and if the Index Mark falls within the Proper Fit Range, you are using the cor- rect cuff size.

If the Index Mark falls outside of the Proper Fit Range, contact A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada, call Auto Control Medical at

1-800-461-0991) for more information on how to obtain a cuff replace- ment.

In addition, the LifeSource AccuFit™ Extra Large Cuff also features a Brachial Artery Marker which will assist you in properly positioning the cuff. Simply align the yellow marker on the cuff with the inside of your left elbow and fasten the cuff securely.
