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.

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 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.
