2.4 Sitting Correctly
To take a measurement, you need
to be relaxed and comfortably
seated in a room with a comfortable
temperature. Place your arm on the
table.
• Sit in a comfortable chair with your
back and arm supported.
• Keep your feet flat 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.
