5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube

points in the direction of the lower arm.

b) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make certain

that the lower edge of the cuff lies approximately 2 to

3 cm above the elbow and that the rubber tube leaves

the cuff on the inner side of the arm.

Important! The mark (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie over

the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.

c) Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the cuff by

affixing the closer.

d) There must be no free space between the arm and the

cuff as this would influence the result. Clothing must

not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does

(e.g. a pullover) must be taken off.

e) Secure the cuff with the closer in such a way that it

lies comfortably and is not too tight. Lay your arm on

a table (palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the same

height as the heart. Make sure that the tube is not

kinked.

Note:

If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can

also be placed on the right one. However, all measure-

ments should be made using the same arm.
