that the cuff is at the same level
as your heart. (Fig. A.)
Note: The level of your heart is
slightly below your armpit.
Relax your entire body, especially
the area between your elbow and fingers.
B. If the cuff is not at the same level
as your heart or if you can not
keep your arm completely still
throughout the reading, use a
soft object such as a folded towel
to support your arm. (Fig. B) Do
not allow hard objects to come in
contact with the wrist cuff.
C. Turn your palm upwards.
D. Sit upright in a chair, and take
5-6 deep breaths.
Note: Avoid leaning back or crossing
your legs while the measurement is
being taken. (Fig. C)
