f) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff
is at the same height as your heart. Make sure
the tube is not kinked.
g) Remain seated quietly for at least 5 minutes
before you begin the measurement.
Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can
also be placed on your right arm. However, all meas-
urements should be made using the same arm.
