Cuff Placement
Correct cuff placement is crucial for accurate readings.

- Sit in a comfortable position with your feet flat on the floor and your arm resting on a table at heart level.
- Wrap the cuff around your bare upper left arm, approximately 0.8-1.2 inches (2-3 cm) above the elbow joint. The air tube should run down the center of your arm in line with your middle finger.
- The main artery mark on the cuff should align with your brachial artery.
- Secure the cuff snugly, but not too tightly. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
