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
•Sitting on a sofa or at a low table so that you tend to lean forward
If you are leaning forwards, this can put pressure on your stomach, which could cause the measurement results to be incorrect. Readings cannot be taken correctly in the following cases.
