2. Place your hand through the cuff loop. Pull the cuff
until it reaches your upper left arm.
Note
• The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 0.5 inch (1 to 2 cm) above the inside elbow. The
air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
3. Make sure that the air tube is positioned on the inside
of your arm and wrap the cuff securely so it can not
move around your arm.
Note
• When you take a measurement on your right arm, the air tube should run along the side of your
elbow, along the bottom of your arm. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
