Fitting the Blood Pressure Monitor
1. Attaching the cuff to the upper
arm.
• Make sure the cuff is wrapped so
that it is in contact with the skin.
Measurements may be taken
from either the left or right
arm. However, please take
measurements using the same
arm each time, because there
is said to be a blood pressure
difference of approx. 10 mmH
g
between the left and right.
2. Fasten firmly, but not too tight.
• Optimally, there should be enough
room to insert one finger between
the cuff and arm.
• Make sure your sleeve does not
get in the cuff.
• Firmly attach using the hook-and-
loop tape.
Positioning on the Upper Left Arm
• Position so that
the tube extends in
line with the little finger
on the palm side.
Wrap the cuff around
the arm 2 to 3 cm
(25/32" to 1-3/16")
above the elbow.
Positioning on the
Upper Right Arm
