Preparation for use
Posture during measurement
1. Sit comfortably and
lay your arm with
the cuff on a flat
surface.
Lay your elbow on
the table so that
the cuff is level with
your heart.
The palm of your
hand should face upwards. Sit upright and take 5 or 6
deep breaths.
Helpful tips for patients, particularly patients with hy-
pertension:
• Rest for five minutes before measuring.
• Wait at least three minutes between measurements. This
will enable your circulation to recover.
• Take the measurement in a quiet room.
• Try to relax during measurement; do not move or speak.
• Attach the cuff at a position level with your heart.
• Sit comfortably. Do not cross your legs but place your
feet flat on the floor, and lean against the back of the
chair.
• In order to ensure comparability of measurements, try to
measure under similar conditions each time. For exam-
ple, measure at the same time each day, using the same
arm, or following the instructions of your doctor.
