3. Select your connector
IMPORTANT: This replacement package includes
multiple connector types. It is critical that the correct
connector be used.
1. Look at your old cuff and connector. Identify the cuff
connector’s shape and color. The connector is used
for plugging the cuff into your monitor, and is locat-
ed at the end of the cuff hose.
2. If your cuff has a standard connector:
a) Find the silver regulatory label (usually located on
the back of your device).
b) Review the label for ANY of the following:
b1. A triangular “IMT” symbol
b2. Any of the model numbers listed below:
c) If any of the conditions are met, use the
standard connector with your new cuff.
d) If you do not meet the conditions in b 1-2,
use the Advanced connector 3 (All Black).
DO NOT USE THE STANDARD CONNECTOR.
3. If your cuff has an advanced connector:
a) Select a new connector matching the tip color of
your current connector (yellow or blue).
4. Attach the cuff connector to the end of the cuff hose.
5. Connect the new cuff assembly (cuff, hose &
connector) to your Microlife automatic blood
pressure monitor, and ensure the connection fits
snugly. It should not be loose.
6. Once the cuff is properly connected to the monitor,
prepare the cuff for your measurement.

4. Applying the cuff
•Ensure clothing does not interfere with the
cuff. Remove any tight or bulky items which
might restrict the arm.
•Slide the cuff onto the arm, positioning it as
illustrated, so that the hose is closer to your
lower arm. Make certain that the lower edge
of the cuff lies approximately ½” (1 to 2 cm)
above the elbow and that the hose is closer to
the inner side of the arm.
IMPORTANT: The Artery Mark Indicator must
lie over the brachial artery. The artery is
located closer to the inside of the upper arm
(directly under the front of the armpit).
TIP: Align artery mark to pinky finger (NOT the
center of your arm).
•Tighten the cuff by pulling the end, and secure
the cuff by affixing the hook & loop material.
•Make sure the cuff is tightened correctly. It
should fit the arm snugly, and you should just
be able to slide two fingers between the arm
and the cuff.
•Once the cuff is in position and adjusted,
ensure the “Sizing Seam” marking falls within
the “Size Range” marking. If it does not, the
cuff may not be the correct size for your arm.
•Caution: Incorrect cuff sizing / application:
Incorrect sizing can cause your systolic blood
pressure measurement to swing up or down
by 10 mmHg. Similarly, a cuff that is applied
too loosely or too tightly will result in an inac-
curate reading.
Please contact customer service, or visit our
website, for help determining and obtaining
the correct sized cuff.

5. Care and maintenance
•The cuff contains a sensitive airtight bladder. Handle this cuff carefully.
Avoid applying stress which can occur if the cuff and/or hose are twisted
or folded. Do not pull on the hose. Keep both away from sharp objects.
•Clean the cuff exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Spots on the cuff can be
removed carefully with a damp cloth and soapsuds. Do not submerge in
water, place in dishwasher, or use chemical cleaning agents/solvents.
