4.In order to insure accu- rate measurements, fas- ten the hook and loop

strap securely around
your wrist so there is no
extra space between the

cuff and the wrist as
shown in Fig. C. If the
cuff is not wrapped tight
enough, the measure-
ment values will not be
accurate.	Fig. D
5. If your physician has
diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your
left arm, place the cuff
around your right wrist
as shown in Fig. D.

CORRECT MEASURE- MENT POSTURE

1.Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart as shown in Fig. A.

Note: Your heart is located slightly below your armpit.

Relax your entire body, especially between your elbow and fingers.

2.If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you cannot keep your arm com- pletely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your arm as shown in Fig. B.
