d) There should be little free
space between the arm and the
cuff. You should be able to fit 2
fingers between your arm and
the cuff. Clothing must not
restrict the arm. Any piece of
clothing which does must be
removed. Cuffs that don’t fit
properly result in false
measurement values. Measure
your arm circumference if you
are not sure of proper fit.
e) Lay your arm on a table so the
cuff is at the same height as
your heart. Make sure the tube
is not kinked.
f) Remain seated quietly for 5
minutes before you begin the
measurement.
Comment
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your
left arm, it can also be placed on your
right arm. However, all measurements
should be made using the same arm.
Comparable blood pressure measure-
ments always require the same
conditions (relax for several minutes
before a reading).
