How do I position the Hilo Cuff correctly? Print

The Cuff must be placed on the arm opposite to the one wearing the Bracelet (i.e., if you want to wear the Bracelet on your RIGHT wrist, place the Cuff on your LEFT arm, and vice versa).

Remove any clothing from your upper arm. If rolling up your sleeve, ensure it is not too tight to avoid restricting blood flow.
Slide your bare arm through the Cuff, with the logo/LED showing towards the bottom.
Place the hard plastic measuring body on the inner side of your arm, approximately 1 inch (2-3 cm) above the elbow joint, ensuring it sits directly over the artery.
Tighten the Cuff so that it fits snugly while still allowing you to insert two fingers between your arm and the Cuff´s sleeve. Secure it with the Velcro fastener.
While seated, rest your hand palm-up on a flat surface, ensuring that the Cuff is at the same height as your heart. The Cuff monitor should be positioned on the inner side of your arm, with the logo/LED facing your elbow joint.

For detailed guidance, please refer to the instructions provided with the Cuff.
