Correct Measuring Posture

1. Place your elbow on a table so that the
cuff is at the same level as your heart see
Fig. E.
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 can not keep your arm
completely still throughout the reading,
use a soft object such as a folded towel to
support your arm see Fig. F. Do not allow
hard objects to come in contact with the
wrist cuff.
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 see Fig. G.
