3. Using the Unit
Notes:
•Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate results.
•You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
• Arched back (leaning forwards)
• Sitting
• 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.
