Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is

too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure;

a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct

blood pressure. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the

circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between the shoulder and

elbow.

INDEX

Cuff Size Indicator On The Cuff

Our cuff has an indicator which tells you whether you are using the correct

cuff size or not. Place the cuff on your arm (see Page E-6 to learn how to put

the cuff on correctly) and if the Index Mark points within the Proper

Fit Range, you are using the correct cuff size. If the Index points outside of the

Proper Fit Range, contact A&D Medical at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada, call

Auto Control Medical at 1-800-461-0991) for more information on where to

obtain a cuff replacement.

NOTE: If the cuff size indicator falls on a borderline between two size categories,

pick either one and make sure to use the same cuff size for each measurement.
