Is it easy for a person to put the cuff on their own arm?

It is fairly easy. If you are right handed put it on your left arm with your right hand and VV. I needed a larger cup than came with the unit. The larger cups are also sold on amazon

Not really. I think it's more accurate but I also bought the wrist monitor because I can use it myself. My health aide uses the one on my arm

It's easy for this WWII era geezer with arthritis. It should be easy for anyone.

it is according to the circumference of your arm I needed a larger cuff than what came with the unit

No, it's hard to use and when you do get cuff on and pump it up you get an error. Should have returned but don't. Don't buy.

Yes, very easy. You put it on your left hand with your right hand if you are right-handed. The opposite if your are left-handed. I hope this helps.

The smaller cuff comes with it. You would have to purchase the larger cuff seperately.

In the picture the ankle loop has a piece you see stickink out. That is the key that opens the cuff. It is removable.

It's not hard to get on at all. Make sure you measure your arm though to get the right fit. It will be snug when trying to get off but that's how you want it.

very easy. May need a pair of pliers and a towel the first time, but after that hand tighten and you're good to go.

Not hard! I am 5'6 and 130 pounds with not much arm muscle. I use the hand pump and It takes less than five minutes. I don't think you will have issues

You should space the cuff a 1/2 inch on the inside the wrist in the proper position.

I can but it takes effort or a mirror so you can see the strap behind you. I have fairly limited range of motion of my shoulders due to rotator cuff problems so while it is doable alone, sometimes my wife will help me which is easier. HAving said that, I always put it on myself after a bike ride, so it is possible just takes a little patience.

I have not tried to switch out the cuff, but the cuff fits small arms. my arms are about 7" in circumference and i think that's about the smallest it can handle.

Yes, it's very easy to put in place. About two-thirds of the wrist band is semi-rigid and contoured to fit on the wrist. You slip it on from the side and it fits snugly while you wrap the remaining strap around and attach the Velcro. Because of the contour fit, the unit doesn't slide or rotate on your wrist while attaching it.

My doctor recently asked me to do a series of BP's over a week. I managed ok to put it on myself, a little fiddly I guess but it worked ok by trapping the stethoscope under the cuff before inflating. Hope this helps.

I have tried using just one arm. It was not easy but did manage to get it on with one hand/arm, however it was almost impossible to get it back off with just one arm. Could possibly have been done it if something nudged it off the shoulder. Maybe even attach a cord to it to reach with the good hand.

Depends on your flexibility. If you can hold your own hands behind your back at the height of your shoulders, is easy. If you can't, you either need the help of somebody else or you could pre-attach the upper buckle, but that's easy too. Is way easier to put on than the long fabrics like the Moby (which I used a lot and loved it when my baby was younger) and the learning curve is way shorter.

Very easy to put on yourself.. Don't pay that extra money to let someone else

A larger arm cuff is available. Call Blipcare customer service. They provided mine at no charge.

The most accurate would be a manual arm cuff. As far as digital, I feel that the wrist and arm cuff are similar.
