2. CUFF CONNECTION TO THE MONITOR
The cuff is attached to the monitor when it is packaged. Should the cuff become unattached,
align the two plugs and four brackets of the cuff with the plug sockets and bracket sockets of the
monitor and press the cuff to the monitor until the plugs and brackets are securely attached.
3. CUFF WRAPPING ON YOUR WRIST
a. Place the cuff around a bare wrist 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch above the
wrist joint on the open-hand side of the wrist.
b. While seated, place the arm with the cuffed wrist in front of your
body on a desk or table with the palm up. If the cuff is correctly
placed, you can read the LCD display when your arm is held
open-hand side-up in front of your body.
c. The cuff must be neither too tight nor too loose. You should be
able to place one fi nger between the cuff and your wrist.
d. Measure using the same arm each time.
e. Do not move your arms, body, or the monitor during blood
pressure measurements.
f. Stay quiet, calm and rest for 5 minutes before and during blood
pressure measurement.
g. If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor and wash
it by hand in a mild detergent, then rinse it thoroughly in cold
water. Allow the cuff to dry before using it for a blood pressure
measurement. Never dry the cuff in a clothes dryer and never
iron the cuff.
