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 wrist
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.
Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken as
shown in Fig. C.
