With both methods, a pressure transducer measures the cuff pressure as well as the superimposed
pressure pulsations. During blood pressure measurements, the cuff must be at heart level. If this is not
ensured, the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column in the blood vessels will lead to incorrect results.
When the patient is sitting or standing during measurements, the cuff is automatically at the correct
level.
