PUTTING ON THE CUFF.
Instructions for use. Click the link to see how to fit your cuffs for use.
TIGHTENING THE ARM CUFF
The dial is marked to help you set and record settings. You should only rotate the dial "clockwise". If you want to loosen the cuff, just lift the tab, flex, and flex to let the cuff self-loosen.
Refer to the chart at the right to determine how much to tighten your cuff. One full rotation equals 26 clicks. For example, if the chart indicates "29" clicks, rotate the dial one full turn, then add three more clicks.
​
The settings are determined by limb circumference. And deliver approximately 85mmHg (1.6psi) of pressure. You can increase or decrease the tightness based on your experience.
​
If you feel numbness or tingling, lift the tab and let the cuff "relax" then close the tab and rotate the dial clockwise 2 clicks.
TIGHTEN THE LEG CUFF
The dial is marked to help you set and record settings. You should only rotate the dial "clockwise". If you want to loosen the cuff, just lift the tab, flex, and flex to let the cuff self-loosen.
Refer to the chart at the right to determine how much to tighten your cuff. One full rotation equals 26 clicks. For example, if the chart indicates "60" clicks, rotate the dial two full turns (56), then add four more clicks.
​
The settings are determined by limb circumference. And deliver approximately 95mmHg (1.8psi) of pressure. You may increase or decrease the tightness based on your need.

ROCKCUFF FAST-START PROGRAM

Because of our effecient cuff design, you do not have to tighten the cuff as much as you would a less effecient cuff.
