Further Information
With each press of the button (TIME, MEMORY) one
input is made (e.g. switching over from hours to minutes
mode, or altering the value by +1).
However, if you keep the respective button depressed,
you can switch more quickly to the desired mode, or find
the desired value respectively.
5. Carrying out a measurement
5.1. Before the measurement:
• Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the
measurement. All these factors influence the measurement result. Try and find
time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quite atmosphere for about ten
minutes before the measurement.
• Measure always on the same wrist (normally left).
• Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the same time of day, since
the blood-pressure changes during the course of the day.
5.2. Common sources of error:
Comparable blood-pressure measurements always require the same
conditions! These are normally always quiet conditions.
• All efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase the blood-pressure.
Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not activate any of
the muscles in the measurement arm during the measurement. Use a cushion for
support if necessary.
• If the wrist artery lies considerably lower (higher) than the heart, an erroneously
higher (lower) blood-pressure will be measured! (Each 15cm difference in height
results in a measurement error of10mmHg!)
• A loose cuff causes false measurement values.
