Check your upper arm size and the part number before buying a monitor or replacement cuff.

Measure your arm. Measure around your upper arm as directed in the manual. Compare the measurement with the range printed on the included cuff.
Check the model. The OMRON Platinum BP5465 lists an upper arm range of 22 to 42 cm (9 to 17 inches). Other models may use a different size or fastener.
Confirm the replacement part. Look up the part number and check that the manufacturer lists it for your exact monitor. Cuffs with the same size range are not necessarily interchangeable.
