3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be 
relaxed and comfortably seated with a 
comfortable room temperature. Place 
your arm on the table.
• Sit in a comfortable chair with your back and 
arm supported.
• Keep your feet and your legs uncrossed.
• The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at 
the same level as your heart, with the arm 
resting comfortably on a table.
