Measure Blood Pressure
Applying the arm cuff
- Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1 to 2 cm above the inside of the elbow, as shown.
- Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse and result in a measurement error.
- Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings.
- Confirm that the artery position mark is line up with the artery.
How to sit correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated. Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor. Place your left arm on a table so the cuff is level with your heart.
