CORRECT MEASURING POSTURE
1.
Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as
your heart as Fig. A
Note:
Your heart is located slightly below your armpit a bit to the left of the
middle of your chest. 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 cannot keep
your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such
as a
folded towel to support your arm as Fig. B. Do not allow hard
objects to come in contact with the wrist cuff.
3 . Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright on a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back
while the measurement is being taken as Fig.C.
