Fitting the Blood Pressure Monitor
1. Attaching the cuff to the upper
arm.
•Make sure the cuff is wrapped so
that it is in contact with the skin.

from either the left or right 
arm. However, please take
measurements using the same
arm each time, because there
is said to be a blood pressure
difference of approx. 10 mmHg
between the left and right. 
2. Fasten firmly, but not too tight.
•Optimally, there should be enough
room to insert one finger between
the cuff and arm....
