feet at on the oor. Place your left
arm on a table at a slight angle.

Place the cu on the arm
(preferably the left arm). The cu
must be at the level with the heart.
3
Wrap the cu around the upper
arm, about 2 - 3 cm above the
elbow, as shown.
Place the cu 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.
Conrm that the index
points within the proper t
range.
