CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE
1. Place your elbow on a table so that
the cuff is at the same level as your
heart as shown in Fig. A. Relax your
entire body, especially between
your elbow and fingers.
Note: Your heart is located slightly
below your armpit.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level
as your heart or if you cannot keep
your arm completely still throughout
the reading, use a soft object such
as a folded towel to support your
wrist as shown in Fig. B.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6
deep breaths.
Note:
• Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken as
shown in Fig. C.
