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 arm
completely still throughout the
reading, use a soft object such
as a folded towel to support
your arm as shown in Fig. B.
4. In order to insure accurate
measurements, fasten the
hook and loop strap securely
around your wrist so there is
no extra space between the
cuff and the wrist as shown
in Fig. C. If the cuff is not
wrapped tight enough, the
measurement values will not
be accurate.
5. If your physician has
diagnosed you with poor
circulation in your left arm,
place the cuff around your
right wrist as shown in Fig. D.
