Correct Measuring Posture; Wrapping The Cuff; Measurement Procedures - Nissei DS-400 Manuel D'instructions

CORRECT MEASURING POSTURE

Sit at the table and let the table support your arm as you take the blood
pressure measurement. Make sure that the measurement location on the
upper arm is at approximately the same height as the heart, and that the
forearm is extended naturally on the table and does not move.
You may lie on your back and take the measurement. Look at the ceiling, stay calm, and do not
move your neck or body during the measurement. Again, make sure that the measurement
location on the arm is at approximately the same height as the heart.
If the cuff is lower (higher) than the heart, the measured reading tends to
become larger (smaller).

WRAPPING THE CUFF

1 With the tube of the cuff positioned in the direction of the fingertips, place
it on your left arm.
Wrap the cuff around the arm with the edge of the cuff approximately 2~3
2
cm above the elbow.
Press the surface of the cuff to make sure that it is attached securely.
3
When wrapping the cuff, wrap it loosely enough around the arm so that two
fingers can be placed between the cuff and the arm. If the cuff is wrapped more
tightly or loosely than this, inaccurate blood pressure readings may result.
If you are wearing a shirt that might restrict circulation in your upper arm
or you roll your sleeve up over the upper arm, the blood flow will be
restricted, preventing accurate measurement.
