Pulsewave Cuff Positioning Guide
To achieve the best quality of reading, your wrist must be at heart level. Although there may be several versions of how this is done, this article describes the standard position for taking a reading at heart level and how to properly place the Pulsewave's inflatable cuff on your wrist.
Do not eat, smoke, or exercise 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. Clear your mind and relax for 5-10 minutes prior to taking a reading.
1. Open the cuff’s Velcro tab and pull the flap through the metal clip to loosen the cuff. Do not pull the cuff through the clip beyond the stopper installed in the cuff.
2. Remove any jewelry and roll up shirt sleeves. If possible, always place the cuff on your left wrist. Insert your hand through the cuff.
3. Pull the flap through the metal clip to tighten the cuff.
4. Bend the flap. Make sure the cuff is attached comfortably to your wrist. It should be snug, neither too tight nor too loose.
5. The inflatable cuff can be inverted or rotated as presented here for optimal comfort.
6. Rest Your Hand On a Flat Surface
Place your left arm flat on a table or desk. Make sure you are sitting up straight in a standard chair with your feet flat on the floor.
