CORRECT BODY POSTURE DURING MEASUREMENT
To obtain as accurate readings as possible, always remember to hold
the sleeve at the same height as the heart. If the sleeve is higher or
lower than the heart this causes deviations from the actual blood
pressure.
Measuring blood pressure while sitting:
• Support the elbow on a table surface or other surfaces (such as the
bag pocket).
• Place the arm on the arm rest for correct positioning such that the
sleeve is at the same height as the heart as far as possible.
• Relax your hand, the palm must face upwards.
