On some blood pressure cuffs the arrow is meant to be an artery marker. When the arrow is an artery marker, it will point down towards the hand and should line up with the brachial artery in the elbow joint. On the right or left arm, this would be more towards the inner part of your arm towards your torso ((Hypertension: Measurement of Blood Pressu...
On some blood pressure cuffs the arrow is not an artery marker and is meant to help indicate the cuff is properly sized. After securing the cuff and lining up the artery marker, the arrow should be pointing towards the size range indicator line on the cuff.

On the right arm the tube should run along the side of the elbow, along the bottom of your arm2. Always refer to the instruction manual for your home monitor fo...

On a home monitor the blood pressure tubing always points down towards the hand when the cuff is positioned properly. On the left arm, when the artery marker is lined up correctly, the tubing should be lined up with the middle of the arm towards the middle finger. On the right arm, the tubing should run along the bottom of the arm towards the littl...
It does matter if the blood pressure cuff is upside down. With the cuff upside down, it may be harder to line up the arrow or artery marker with the brachial artery. In addition, the air supply tubing will have to curve so it can point in the direction of the home monitor which is typically positioned in front of your body. Nurses will often turn t...

You should be able to fit one finger between the cuff and your arm. This space is imperative for an accurate reading because OMRON’s digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement that detects your blood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.

A properly sized blood pressure cuff should be placed around your bare upper arm. The middle of the cuff should be positioned at the level of the right atrium. In addition, home monitor cuffs should be positioned slightly above the arm bend with the artery marker on the cuff lined up to the artery.
