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?

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.

It is very easy to put on by yourself. It is stiffer than the old fabric cuffs. I tried it several times just to be sure. Put it under your armpit and hold your arm firmly to your rib cage. Wrap with other arm. I generally cheat. I have a pen mark on the cuff that shows my size. I close the cuff and then slip it on like a bracelet. Voila.

It's a velcro application. Not really designed to be done on yourself, but it can be.

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.

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

just with tension. there is a little screw that tightens down on the arm to hold it in place. in all honesty, not amazing but it works. I have had some issues getting it to lock into place myself...but on the other hand it is really cheap.

Right before the "P" in Pandora on the clasp there are three lines. Slide your finger nail in the middle line and the clasp will open. To close place the other end of the bracelet in the round groove on the clasp and pinch together to close. For me it took a little practice...lol:)). Now, I have the hand of it. Hope this helps.

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.

Hi. No it is not attached to the cuff. However you can always clip it in place one you have inserted the cuff in the arm. I really do prefer this over the digital ones. I like the old school type of sphygmomanometer coz they give me the most accurate reading.

Push the silver button on the front outwards. It was very hard to do at first...I had to use two hands! It will loosen just a little over time.

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.

So after contacting mount-it customer support and trying. The hex bit that is in the part that lifts the arm needed to be tightened counter-clockwise. (not clockwise) and it just keeps tightening and doesn't seem to stop. Also there were parts on there that looked like you could put a quarter on and turn it but that was not the case. Anyway the arm lifting part nut turned counter-clockwise a lot. seems to stiffen the thing and give me more control. Im ight keep it now.

Is very easy. Use both of your fingers to pull it out, you can also adjust it. The first time takes more time but then is very easy.

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.

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 has worked fine for me.I just slip it on and loosely adjust the velcro part. This was with a large cuff. To be sure ask for the circumference before ordering. I have fat arms. I just lean it on the table and then put my arm through...

no. It's made for your arm, in fact, it's a bit big on my arm actually, I have to pull it very tight. It will not fit on your wrist or even your forearm without falling off.

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.

It is justable by squeezing it or pulling it open wider. However I found it to loosen after a while and fall off my arm. So keep track of it if you buy it.

Well, on myself it went from my elbow to my wrist! Sorry! I dont have a tapemeasure on hand but I am a 5'6" female with normal ratio I would guess. personally it was very uncomfortable and terribly awkward trying to get it off and on with only one good arm. I went back to the plain standard type. easy on easy off and better fit. just my opinion..but then you did ask! Most expensive isn't always the best. Hope this helps you decide which is best for your arm. Hope you recover quickly!
