Attaching the Arm Cuff

at the end of
the tube into
the jack on the

3. Sit upright on
the chair, and
with your palm
face up, thread
the cuff through your arm until it reaches
your biceps, just above your elbow.
4. Adjust the cuff so the inflation tube is on the
top of your arm as shown. Leave the cuff’s
bottom edge about 0.8 to 1.2 inches (2 – 3
cm) above the crease of your elbow.
5. Fasten the cuff snugly, leaving at least a
finger’s room in between the cuff and your
arm.
6. Place your arm on the table so the cuff is at
the same height as your heart. Be sure the
inflation tube lines up with your arm
