HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. Locate your brachial artery by 
pressing two fingers approximately 
one inch above the elbow crease on the
inside of the left arm. Determine where
your pulse is strongest.
2. The cuff should be assembled 
correctly when it is removed from 
the box. If it is not, pass  the end 
of the cuff furthest from the tubing 
through the metal D-ring to form 
a loop. The smooth cloth should 
be on the inside of the cuff loop.
3. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the
sewn hook material will be on the 
outside of the cuff loop and the metal 
D-ring will not touch your skin.
4. Put your left arm through the cuff 
loop. The bottom of the cuff should 
be approximately 1/2 inch above the 
elbow. The cuff  tab should lie over 
the brachial artery on the inside 
of the arm.
