Wrapping the wrist cuff is one of the most important points for
taking a correct measurement.
APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE LEFT WRIST
1. Roll up sleeve. Make sure your sleeve is not
rolled up too tightly on your arm. This may
constrict the flow of blood in your arm.
2. Wrap the cuff directly against your skin.
Do not apply over clothing. Place the cuff over your left wrist with
your left thumb facing upward.
3. Position the cuff leaving a clearance of approximately 1/2 to 1
inch between the cuff and the bottom of your palm.
4. Hold the bottom part of the cuff and wrap it
around the wrist so it fits comfortably and
securely around your wrist.
NOTE: Make sure the wrist cuff does not
cover the protruding part of the wrist
bone on the outside of the wrist.
5. Fold the remaining part of the wrist cuff back out
of the way.
APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT WRIST
When taking a measurement using the right wrist
position the cuff as shown in the illustration.
