1.Remove all watches, jewellery, etc. prior to attaching the cuff. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up.
2.Press your brachial artery by two fingers approximately 2,5 cm above the elbow on the inside of your left arm to determine where your strongest pulse is.
3.Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff. The Velcro will be on the outside of the cuff.
4.Put the left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be approx. 1,5 cm above the elbow. The cuff tube should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.
5.Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around your arm.
6.When the cuff is positioned properly, press the Velcro firmly against the pile side of the cuff. The metal ring will not touch your skin.
7.Relax your entire body, especially the area between your elbow and fingers. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Avoid leaning back while the measurements being taken.
