The cuff should only be placed on the upper arm. Correct positioning can be checked using a simple
test: You should be able to insert one or two fingers under the cuff.

It is important for the cuff to be the correct size to ensure accurate blood pressure measurement. To
make it possible to measure reproducible values, there should be standardised measurement
conditions, i.e. the cuff size should be adjusted to the patient. The arm circumference can be
measured with the tape measure included in the delivery package in the middle of the upper arm and
the cuff is then selected:
Upper arm circumference
14 - 20 cm (5,5-7,9 Inch)
20 - 24 cm (7,9-9,5 Inch)
24 - 32 cm (9,5-12,6 Inch)
32 - 38 cm (12,6-15,0 Inch)
38 – 55 cm (15,0-21,7 Inch)

Connect the cuff pressure tube to the blood pressure monitor. Firmly attach the tube to the connector,
the pressure tube must audibly click into place; when detaching, simply pull back the outer metal ring
of the plug.
