A&D Medical ACCUFIT Plus (UA-420) — Blood Pressure Cuff Quick Start Guide

Quick start guide for the A&D Medical ACCUFIT™ Plus Blood Pressure Cuff (order code UA-420), used with A&D Medical or LifeSource® blood pressure monitors.

About This Cuff

• Intended for use with A&D Medical or LifeSource® blood pressure monitors.
• Intended for upper arm use.
• Intended for use at home by those eighteen (18) years or older, to monitor blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate.
• Not made with natural rubber latex.
• Avoid tightly folding the cuff or storing the hose tightly twisted for long periods, as this may shorten component life.
• This cuff is not water resistant — prevent rain, sweat, and moisture of any type from soiling it.

Blood Pressure Taking Tips

• Relax for several moments before measurement.
• Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to measurement.
• Remove constricting clothing and place the cuff on a bare arm.
• Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use your left arm to measure pressure.
• Do not talk during measurement.
• Do not cross your legs, and keep your feet flat on the floor.

How to Use — Simple Steps

1. Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface so that the center of your upper arm is at the same height as your heart.
2. Lay your left arm on the table, palm up, and wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 0.5" (1–2 cm) above the inside of the elbow. Place the cuff directly against the skin — clothing underneath can cause a faint pulse and result in a measurement error.
3. Secure the cuff around your arm. It should be snug but not too tight.
4. Make sure the cuff is aligned at heart level.
