Measurement in a reclining posture
1
Lie down, facing the celling.
2
Lightly open your hand with palm up and straighten your arm.
3
Relax your body, arm and fingers.
4
Do not move your body or talk during measurement.
* Relax yourself to avoid placing
pressure on the cuff.
■
You may use your right arm to measure your blood pressure.
Blood pressure value is likely to differ by as much as 10mmHg when measured on
the right arm instead of the left (or vice-versa). Measure your blood pressure on the
same arm each day.
TIPS FOR OBTAINING ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS
Your blood pressure varies according to your posture, the time of day and a range of
other factors. Ideally, you should measure your blood pressure in the same posture
at the same time every day.
■
Taking measurements while sitting
* Be seated comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, and don't cross your legs.
1
Place your arm on a table or similar
surface with your forearm extended.
2
It is important to have the cuff level with
your heart.
3
Open your hand slightly on the table
so that your palm is facing up and your
fingers are relaxed.
4
Do not move your body or talk while
taking the measurement.
AUTOMATIC POWER OFF FEATURE
• After taking the blood pressure measurement, pressing the “ START/STOP”
switch will turn the monitor off. However, if you do not press the switch, the
monitor’s Auto OFF function will automatically turn the monitor off after 1 minute.
