Applying the arm cuff
1. Plug in the cuff connecting tube into the unit.
2. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the “Index” end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff.
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The "OK" range indication should be positioned closer
to yourself with the rubber tube pointing in the direction of your arm. Position the artery mark
( ) over the main arteries (on the inside of your arm) in the upper arm.
4. Turn your left palm upward
and place the edge of the arm
cuff
at
approximately
2
to
3
cm above the inner side of the elbow joint.
Tighten the cuff by pulling the "Index" end
of the cuff.
5. If the Index line falls within the OK range,
indicated at the edge of the cuff, this cuff
is
suitable for your use. If the Index line falls out
of
the OK range, you may need a special cuff
