Whenever possible, measurements should be taken while sitting. In exceptional
cases it is also permitted to take measurements while lying down.
Sit at a dining table, resting your back against the
backrest of the chair. Bend your arm so that the cuff
is at exactly the same height as your heart. Place your
feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
7. Body posture when taking measurements
• Measurement while sitting
Lie on your back. Attach the unit to your wrist and
hold the unit at the same height as your heart (e.g.
by resting your arm on a pillow or cushion). Breathe
deeply 5 or 6 times to relax before measurement.
• Measurement while lying down
Please note:
– If the cuff is lower or higher than heart height, the reading may in turn be
higher or lower.
– Keep your hand relaxed, do not clench your hand or form a fist.
– Do not under any circumstances bend your wrist.
