Proper Measurement Position - ForaCare TN'G BP Manual Del Propietário

Proper Measurement Position

1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Place your elbow on a flat surface. Relax your hand with the palm
facing up.
3. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of your
heart.
4. Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.
WARNING:
If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the obtained blood pressure
value could be higher (lower) than the actual value. A 15 cm difference in height
may result in an error around 10 mmHg.
