HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. 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.
2. 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. 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 on the cuff
should lie over the brachial
artery on the inside of the arm.
Tube should run down center
of arm even with middle finger.
