HOW TO WRAP THE ARM CUFF

• When the arm cuff comes off, pass it
through metal bar, directing the
Velcro-attached side to the outer
surface.
2 Put the arm cuff around
your arm so that the air hose
comes to the left palm side.
• The arm cuff should be put on the
bare arm or over a light-weight
clothing.
• If you wear a heavy-weight top,
remove it. Be aware that if you roll up
sleeves the upper arm may be

obtained when you can place a finger
between the cuff and your arm.

left arms. It is recommended to use the
same arm for measurement thereby
ensuring a consistent reading.
