Our new generation upper arm unit, the UA-787 Monitor, has several technological advancements for ease of use and better measurement. One breakthrough is the new e-Cuff.  The e-Cuff is a semi-hard half shell without the typical metal tightening ring, which brings patients ease of use, as it is fastens quick as well as being more comfortably for everyday use.

1. Easy to wear

Below shows each step for fastening the e-cuff and a conventional cuff. The
e-Cuff does not require tightening the cuff after attaching it to the upper arm and patients can put the cuff on faster, possibly in half the time of conventional ones.

2. Comfortable

People sometimes complain about upper arm measurement, as it causes pain and discomfort because of the tight cuff. Our engineers have been researching a comfortable cuff, which causes less pain and discomfort to the upper arm. Part of the reason conventional cuffs are uncomfortable is their use of a "D" ring. To tighten the cuff to make the bladder (air bag) closer to the artery to receive a strong enough signal from blood circulation, D ring is used for the most cuffs for self measurements. Our new technology eliminates this D ring. Slide the half shell over the top of the arm and flip up the cuff end to close. That is all it takes. Nothing is easier! (Note: you may turn the cuff for proper positioning after attaching.)

It is definitely more comfortable without the D ring.

3. Cuff size

The last benefit of the e-Cuff is a more universal size. Cuff size is determined by regulations and you need to choose a suitable sized cuff for proper readings. If you have a bigger arm than is correct for the included cuff, your reading tends to be higher. In order to avoid such errors, you sometimes need to purchase a larger (or smaller) cuff.

Our e-cuff was designed to extend the cuff coverage by 4 cm. In other words, cuff range is 22 cm to 36 cm for arm circumferences. It has enough margin for the people needing borderline cuff sizes.

e-Cuff is exclusively made for the UA-787, "the Monitor." After the e-Cuff is on your arm, you simply press the START button for a measurement. It does the rest. It’s that simple!
