Proper Posture During Measurement

1. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart as
shown in Figure A.
Note: Your heart is located slightly below your armpit and 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 as shown in Figure B. 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, relaxing breaths.
5. Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken as shown in Figure C.
