Doesn't have the metal bar at the end to make the cuff tighter by pulling it through it. How hard/easy is it to put it properly on your arm, YOURSELF?

The metal bar to pull through would have been helpful. Too bad this particular one doesn't have that.

It's easy to put on. Taking out it's kinda hard if u don't know how. Lol the first time I tried, I tried doing it from the sides but I found the best way. It's easier to take out when u pull it from the ends of the bottom.

I don't think it needs to fit snug on your arm. Just let it hang there as you would a bracelet.

Sherri, that is the exact question you need to have answered before you order. I am a schmuck that didn't get the answere first and lost my money to HRM. Go to their site and contact customer service. Get your answer in email form so you have a paper trail if it is the wrong cuff. Good luck

There wasn't really a trick . i just read the directions. However I must warn you to be careful operating when fully extended. Very hard to manage fully extended without straining the shoulder. I had the harness to relieve some of the tension, what a piece of crap.

Sure. I don't like this cuff, though. Too sensitive. Buy a different cuff. Buy an Omron.

It doesn't need to be tight only snug. Putting a cuff on by yourself is a matter of practice and requires some patience. It will still work even if there is enough slack that when deflated it moves a bit. It just takes a bit more air to tighten enough.

The ones without the metal bar (D-ring) for tightening are MUCH harder to use on yourself!!! If you are the only one using it, though, once you (finally) get it adjusted right you can just slip it on and off without loosening it. Having the D-rind makes a world of difference, especially for using to take your own blood pressure.

Yes the cuff can be easily placed with one hand. It's very easy to put on and take off

The arm cuff secures with Velcro to fit a range of sizes for an average adult arm. The actual guage is not adjustable, that I know of, but doubt you'd want to mess with it anyway. Hope that helps!

There should be two designated screw hard points. Go from underneath the metal arm bar-go thru the bar into the arm rest and screw it in until it is tight and not wiggly.

It seems to fit all arms that are anywhere from 9" all the way to 17" in circumference. That's what they mean. I found it can easily be bent into a larger or smaller shape to fit different arm sizes and then it easily attaches and works perfect every time. Not as brainless as the old soft cuffs, but so much easier to put on and no pinching like the old ones. With a little trial and error you can easily make it the worlds best cuff. Unfortunately I have many years experiance with many meters and this one is the best ever

the cover is at the end of the short part of the arm. you really don't push the little cover off, you pull it straight out and off

It takes a bit of practice in order to apply one handed, but it can be done. You basically have to trap one side under your arm for example then pull and wrap around to tighten it down. As you wrap it around each time the rubbery material clings to itself.

Don't think so. Mine works perfectly with just the screw and I have no memory of any type of sleeve provided in the package. Of course, it is not necessary to screw down excessively to hold the arm in the desired position...just a little less than "hand tight" should be fine and you won't distort (i.e., "crush inward") the arm. I use it during grooming of our two Miniature Schnauzers and, once set, haven't had to adjust it.

Once you've unscrewed the cuff and fully inserted the attachment past the ring wrapping around the attachments nozzle, tightening the cuff isn't keeping the attachment in?

The basic procedure is to start at the base of the bar or bar end an wrap the material around itself to secure the beginning. To complete the wrap, you overlap slightly, the open end of the bar or bar end, fold the little bit of overlap into the open end, and insert the included plug to hold it in place. If you have to wrap a part that cannot be secured this way, you may have to find some additional grip tape to secure the end. I had to use both of the above methods on my application. I found some grip tape at a local sports store. I hope this helps.
