4.3. 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

exactly over the artery which runs down the inner

side of the arm.

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

with 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 the arm on

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

same height as the heart. Make sure that the tube is

not kinked.

f) Remain seated quietly for two minutes before you

begin the measurement.

Comment

If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed on the right one. However

all measurements should be made using the same arm.
