Preparing to measure your blood pressure
Do not attach the cuff over wounds
as this can cause further injuries.
Ensure that the cuff is not attached
to an arm where arteries or veins are un-
dergoing or have undergone medical
treatment (e.g. shunt).
For women who have had a breast
amputated, do not attach the cuff to the
wrist on the amputated side of the body.
During the measurement, medical
apparatus that are being used on the
same arm at the same time, may mal-
function.
It can occur that there are diffe-
rences between measurements at the
wrist and the upper arm.
Therefore, it is recommended on oc-
casions to take comparative measu-
rements at the upper arm.
In cases of poor blood circulation or
severe arteriosclerosis, it is not appro-
priate to take measurements at the
wrist. In these instances the blood pres-
sure should be taken at the upper arm.
When measuring, the wrist must
be held at the same height as the
heart!
