3.Using the Unit

Note: You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the values between the two arms differ substantially, please check with your physician which arm to use for your measurement.

Incorrect Posture

• Arched back (leaning forwards)
• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low table
so that you tend to lean forward
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure
values due to strain or the arm cuff being lower than the
heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use
cushions etc., to adjust the height of your arm.	EN
