too loose or tight. Place cuff on
arm with the tubing lined up with
your middle finger.
2. Secure the cuff snugly with hook
& loop closures, allowing room for
no more than two fingers.
3. Sit quietly for five minutes before
testing. Support the back
and let feet rest on floor, keeping
legs uncrossed.
4. Keep the arm and body still
and avoid talking during the
measurement process.
5. Keep the arm being tested at
heart level and let the other arm
relax in a comfortable position.
