Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor Putting on the Cuff: a. Place the cuff 1~2cm above the elbow joint. Measuring can be done on light clothing such as a shirt or blouse.

(Note: Ensure you do not suffer from any medical conditions which will prevent you from having your blood pressure measured in both arms). This will determine which arm should be used for future measurements.
