Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
ALWAYS take readings at the same time of day, under the same
conditions.
DO NOT take a measurement within 30 minutes of smoking, drinking
coffee or tea or any form of exertion. These factors will influence the
measurement.
ALWAYS measure on the same arm. The left arm is recommended. DO
NOT move or speak. Keep your legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor.
Place the cuff in direct contact with the skin. DO NOT wrap the cuff over a
jacket, sweater or shirt.
If you want to take multiple measurements, wait approximately
3 minutes before repeating a measurement.

3. Put your arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be
approximately 0.8"–1.2" above elbow (Fig. 3). The tube should lie over
the brachial artery on the inside of the arm (Fig. 4).
