Wind the arm cuff around the left upper arm tightly so that
the bottom edge of the cuff is positioned about 1-2 cm (about
1 inch) above the elbow joint.
• When you wind the cuff, please wind the cuff next to the
skin as possible. (If measurement is made by rolling the
shirts or jacket up over the arm, this will constrict the up-
per arm and prevent accurate measurement)
Rubber cuff hose should be placed on the inside of your
arm as figures.
The cuff should be wound so that one finger can be in-
serted under the cuff. Note that uneven cuff winding will
prevent proper measurements.
Rest the elbow on a table so that the section of the upper
arm is at the height of the heart. Relax the lower arm across
the table and remain still.
Make measurements in either a seated or reclining pos-
ture.
