2.2 Attaching the Arm Cuff
Connect the air tube from the cuff securely into the air jack on the side of the monitor. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent air leakage during measurement.
2.3 Applying the Cuff
Proper cuff placement is crucial for accurate readings. Follow these steps:
- Put the cuff on your left upper arm with the tube pointing towards your palm.
- Ensure the wrap cuff is approximately 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) above your elbow.
- Sit upright and make sure the cuff is at approximately the same level as your heart.
