For the Correct Measurement of Blood Pressure

Let's Measure Blood Pressure Correctly.

It is important to observe the correct measuring method in order to measure blood pressure accurately.

If your finger touches the shoulder, it is the right level.

(3) Relax yourself by releasing the tension from shoulder and arm.

(1)Take a correct posture so that the wrist cuff is at the same level as the heart.

(2)Be sure to sit on a chair and take a correct posture.

(4) Wrap the wrist cuff snugly.

Learn your blood pressure trend

In order to know the fluctuation trends of your blood pressure, it is important to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day at home and recording it.

Furthermore, do not worry about your blood pressure each time you measure. Ask your doctor to interpret your blood pressure data.

During the measurement, do not stare at the display but look at something at far.

Wrist blood pressure may differ from brachial pressure.

Wrist blood pressure is measured at a different region from the usual brachial

blood pressure measurement and may show slightly different value. In many

cases, the difference between the wrist and the brachial blood pressures is approximately ±10 mmHg both for the

systolic and the diastolic pressures in the case of healthy people.

People with the following condition should take note. When arterial sclerosis worsens because of diabetics, hyperlipemia, or hypertension, it may cause peripheral circulatory disturbance. In these cases, the wrist and brachial blood pressure values may differ greatly. If you have any question on the blood pressure values measured at wrist, please contact the nearest OMRON dealer.
