The right device

2. Fitting the cuff

upper arm instruments

  • Place the cuff at the upper arm. Thick clothing should be removed.
  • The red marking should be positioned directly on the artery of the upper arm.
  • Gently pull the cuff and close the velcro fastening. It does not need to be too tight. Ensure a space of two fingers that can easily go between arm and cuff.

wrist instruments

  • Place the cuff at the free wrist. Clothing should be removed.
  • The cuff should fit snugly around the wrist.

Please obey the right circumference of the cuff.
Otherwise the readings may be wrong.
