3.1 How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement
Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate
results.
Notes:
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in
a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or
too cold.
• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30
minutes before taking a measurement.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.
Correct
Posture
Remove tight fitting clothing
from your upper arm, and any
thick clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick
clothes and do not roll up your
sleeve if it is too tight.
Sit upright
with your
back
straight.
Place the center of
the arm cuff so that it
is at the same height
as your heart.
The gap between the
chair and the top of the
table should be
between 25cm to 30cm.
Place the unit so that it is close to you.
