Correct Measuring Posture

1. Place your elbow on a table
so that the cuff is at the same
level as your heart. (Fig. A.)
Note: The level of your heart is
slightly below your armpit.
Relax your entire body,
especially the area between
your elbow and fingers.
2. If the cuff is not at the same
level as your heart or if
you can not keep your arm
completely still throughout the
reading, use a soft object such
as a folded towel to support
your arm. (Fig. B) Do not
allow hard objects to come in
contact with the wrist cuff.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and take
5-6 deep breaths.
Avoid leaning back or
crossing your legs while the
measurement is being taken.
