3. Slide the fastening strap through the application loop.
4. Fasten the cuff and secure the strap for a snug application of the cuff on the limb, at the maximum circumference.
5. Ensure that you can fit at least two fingers between the skin and strap.

Calibrating The BFR Cuffs
1. Place The BFR Cuffs on your limb. Please refer to wearing instructions to see how to properly place The BFR Cuffs on your limbs. Ensure The BFR Cuffs are on snugly, but not too tight (two fingers gap between skin and The BFR Cuffs).
2. Get into a comfortable resting and non-tensed position.
3. Pressure “Calibrate Pressure” and remain stationary. Note: Only 1 x The BFR Cuffs will inflate during calibration.
4. The BFR Cuffs will now Inflate to calculate safe BFR pressure. Calibration will take approximately 1 minute to complete.
5. Once completed, select the recommended pressure, or use the slider to manually adjust.
If calibration fails, you will receive a failed notification on your app. Before you attempt to re-calibrate, try the following steps:
a) Ensure air plugs firmly in place by using your fingers to feel where the module attaches to cuff. Ensure the two plugs that connect the air bladder to the module are completely inserted by pushing down firmly with fingers.
b) Also ensure there is no residual air is left in the tubes – you can do this by massaging the area behind the cuff and pushing down on the module, as seen in the video below. If your cuffs are still not calibrating, visit our support page for more troubleshooting advice.
