hose exits the cuff firmly against the inside of the
bare upper arm directly over the brachial artery,
and the bottom of the cuff approximately one inch
(2-3cm) above the elbow, as shown in the third pic-
ture at right. Never place the cuff over clothing.
Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the
arm and secure with the Velcro® fastener. The cuff
should be snug, but not too tight. If one or two fin-
gers can fit between the cuff and the arm, the cuff
is properly secured. If you are unable to fit the cuff
as described above, a smaller or larger cuff should
be used.
