Using the wrist sleeve
1. Place the sleeve around the upper arm, 2–3
cm above the elbow, as shown in the diagram.
Place the sleeve directly against the skin –
clothing can result in incorrect measurements.
2. A rolled up cuff that squeezes the upper arm
can affect the measurement result.
3. Fasten the sleeve with the Velcro strip so that
it sits firmly and comfortably. Place the arm on
the table with the palm up, so that the sleeve
is level with the heart. Check that the hose is
not clinched.
