In some cases, wearing the CardioWatch 287-2 on the upper arm can improve signal quality, particularly for SpO₂ measurements. Please follow these steps to apply the VELCRO biceps band correctly:
🛠️ What You Need
VELCRO biceps band (please order from your Healthcare Provider)
CardioWatch 287-2 device
📌 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Device
Detach the CardioWatch 287-2 from the standard wrist strap, if attached.
- Insert into Biceps Band
Slide the device securely into the designated pocket or mounting area of the VELCRO biceps
band. Ensure the sensor side (LEDs) faces inward, toward the skin.
- Position On Upper Arm
Choose your non-dominant arm for greater comfort. Place the band on the outer side of your upper arm, midway between shoulder and elbow
- Tighten the Band
Wrap the band around your upper arm and fasten it using the VELCRO. The fit should be snug and stable, but not constrictive. You should be able to insert one finger between the band and your skin.
