Applying the Cuff
Applying the Cuff
•
Insert the Cuff Plug into the Cuff Plug Jack
on the Monitor.
•
Pull the Velcro tab so the cuff is laying flat
with the Velcro facing up at you.
•
Pull the cuff to the left of the metal ring to
form an opening for your arm.
•
Put your left arm through the cuff loop.
The bottom of the cuff should be approx.
0.5 inch above your elbow. The cuff tube
should run along the center of your arm
towards your upturned palm.
•
If the cuff is properly positioned the tube
should be running down your arm as in the
illustration to the right.
•
Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom
edges are snug around your arm. Do not
tighten to the point of being uncomfortable.
•
When the cuff is positioned properly,
press the Velcro firmly against the pile
side of the cuff.
•
Sit in a chair and place your arm on the
table so that the cuff is at the same level
as your heart.
•
Relax your arm and sit with your palm facing
upward.
•
Assure there are no kinks in the air tube.
