b) The distance between the cuff and the hand should be approx. 10 mm.
c) Secure the cuff with the Velcro fastener, so that it lies comfortably and not
too tight, whereby no space should remain between the cuff and the wrist.
d) Lay the arm on a table, with the palm upwards. Support the arm a little with
a rest (cushion), so that the cuff rests at about the same height as the heart.
Take care, that the cuff lies free. Remain so for 2 minutes sitting quietly,
before beginning with the measurement.
d) Let legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, back and arm supported.
