5. Measuring blood pressure

Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left upper
arm. Blood circulation in the arm should
not be restricted by tight clothing or other
objects.
The cuff should be placed on the upper
arm so that the lower edge is 2 to 3 cm
above the bend of the elbow and above
the artery. The tube should be in line with
the centre of the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff snug-
ly, but not too tightly, around the arm, and
fix it with the Velcro fastener. The cuff
should be fitted tight enough to allow just
two fingers to fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket for
the cuff attachment.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of
23 to 35 cm.
