To apply the cuff
1. Press two fingers one inch above the bend of the elbow on
the inside of the arm. You may feel the pulse of the brachial
artery. Even if you do not feel the pulse, the stethoscope will
allow you to hear the pulse sounds.
2. Slip cuff up your arm. Place the bottom edge of the cuff
approximately one-half inch above the elbow. Adjust the cuff
so that the stethoscope chestpiece sits on the inside of the
arm over the brachial artery.
3. Remove any clothing that restricts your upper left arm. Wrap
the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tubes should
point in the direction of your hand. Position the artery mark
over the main artery (on the inside of your arm) in the upper
arm.
