MEASURING
Cu placement
1. Place the cuff on the upper arm
and then turn the hose towards
the inside of the arm in line with
the pinkie finger. You can also
align the arterial mark so that
it is placed above the largest
artery (on the inside of the arm).
You can find the largest artery
by gently pushing 2 fingers
approximately 2 cm above the
crook of your arm, on the inside
of your left arm. Find where the
pulse can be felt the strongest.
This is where the largest artery is
located.

too tight. It must be possible to
insert one finger between the
cuff and your arm.
