too tight. Position the cuff on the inside of your wrist.

upper edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm

below the ball of your thumb.

should not constrict it.

the original cuff.

while sitting or lying. To carry out a

blood pressure measurement, make

sure you are sitting comfortably with

your arms and back leaning on

something. Do not cross your legs.

still during the measurement and not talk.
