You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm.
NOTE: 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 cold.
Do not take a measurement after bathing, alcohol or exercise.
HOW TO SIT CORRECTLY WHEN TAKING A MEASUREMENT
13
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.
Place your arm on a table so
that the cuff will be at the same
level as your heart.
Sit upright
with your
back straight.
The gap between the
chair and the top of the
table should be between
10" to 12".
