3. Connecting the Cuff to the Monitor

Insert the cuff tubing connector into the socket in the left side
of the monitor. Make certain that the connector is completely
inserted to avoid air leakage during blood pressure measure-
ments.
Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing during measure-
ment, as this may cause an inflation error or harmful injury due to continuous cuff
pressure.

yet snugly around your arm. You should be able to insert one finger between
