TAKING A MEASUREMENT
1. Sit upright but relaxed in a chair with a back. Keep your feet flat
on the floor.
2. Remove tight fitting clothing from your left arm.
3. Make sure the parts are securely and correctly assembled.
CAUTION: Failure to assemble the parts correctly may result in injury
or an incorrect reading.
4. Press two fingers one inch above the bend of
your elbow on the inside of your arm. You may
feel the pulse of the brachial artery. Even if
you do not feel your pulse, the stethoscope will
allow you to hear the pulse sounds.
5. Slip the cuff up your arm. Place the bottom
edge of the cuff one-half inch above the
elbow. Adjust the cuff so the Chestpiece
sits on the inside of the arm over your
brachial artery.
6. Pull the end of the cuff downward until the
cuff fits snugly.
NOTE: Make sure the metal D-ring does not
pinch you skin.
Press the hook material firmly against the pile
material. Make sure the chestpiece sits over the
brachial artery.
