FITTING & APPLYING YOUR CUFF
PROPER CUFF FIT AND PLACEMENT IS CRITICAL IN OBTAINING
ACCURATE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS. PLEASE READ
THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND CONSIDER CONSULTING
WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR FURTHER DIRECTION.
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure your wrist is within the
appropriate cuff range: Wrist Circumference Range Suitable for 5.3" –
8.5" (13.5 – 21.5 cm).
Reminder, it is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication,
alcohol consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a
reading.
If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left wrist,
please modify the instructions for cuff application to your right wrist.
Your physician can help you identify which wrist is best for you to take
measurements from.
Applying Your Cuff
1. Remove any constrictive clothing
or jewelry that may interfere with
cuff placement.
2. Be seated at a table or desk with
your feet flat on the floor.
