6.3. Fitting the Rigid Cuff (6023N only)
The cuff is pre-formed for easier use. Remove tight or bulkya)
clothing from your upper arm.
Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tubeb)
should be on the inside of your arm extending downward to
your hand. Make certain the cuff lies approximately 1/2−3/4” (1−2 cm)
above the elbow.
Important! The red strip on the edge of the cuff (Artery Mark) must lie
over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the hook andc)
loop closure together.
There should be little free space between your arm and the cuff. Youd)
should be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs that
don’t fit properly result in false measurement values. Measure your arm
circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as youre)
heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.
Remain seated quietly for at least two minutes before you begin the measurement.f)
6.4 Fitting the D-Bar Cuff (6021N, 6022N models)
Pass the end of the cuff through the flat metal ring so that a loop isa)
formed. The hook and loop closure must be facing outward.
Place the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube is closer to yourb)
lower arm.
Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make certain that the lower edge of thec)
cuff lies approximately 3/4” to 1” (2 to 3cm) above the elbow and that the
tube is closer to the inner side of the arm.
Important! The small white (Artery Mark) on the cuff must lie exactly
over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
Tighten the cuff by pulling the end and close the cuff by affixing thed)
hook and loop closure.
There should be little free space between the arm and the cuff. You should be able to fit 2e)
fingers between your arm and the cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of
clothing which does, must be removed. Cuffs that don’t fit properly result in false
measurement values. Measure your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
Other size cuffs are available (Page 12).
Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart.f)
Make sure the tube is not kinked.
Remain seated quietly for at least two minutes before you begin the measurement.g)
Comment: If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on your
right arm. However, all measurements should be made using the same arm. Comparable
blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (Relax for several minutes
before taking a measurement).
