3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated, under
comfortable room temperature. Avoid
bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine,
smoking, exercising or eating 30 minutes
before taking a measurement.
• Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and
feet flat on the floor.
• Sit with your back and arm supported.
• The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at
the same level as your heart, with the arm
resting comfortably on a table.
