3.1 Sitting Correctly
1. Relax
2. Sit upright in a chair with both
feet on the floor.
3. Remove tight fitting clothing
from your upper arm along with
any thick clothing. Do not roll
up your sleeve if it is too tight.
4. Place your arm on a table so that
the cuff will be at the same level
as your heart.
3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff
1. Place your elbow on a table and palm facing upward, and wrap
the arm cuff around the upper left arm.
2. Pull on the end of the cuff until it wraps securely around your
upper arm. Do not over tighten the cuff. Allow 1–2 cm or 1/2
inch between the bottom of the cuff and your elbow joint.
3. Make sure the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
