HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF

1.Locate your brachial artery by pressing two fingers approximately one inch above the elbow crease on the inside of the left arm. Determine where your pulse is strongest.

2.The cuff should be assembled correctly when it is removed from the box. If it is not, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop.

3.If the cuff is assembled correctly, the sewn hook material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will not touch your skin.

4.Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2 inch above the elbow. The cuff tab should lie over the brachial artery on the inside

of the arm.
