Adopt the correct posture
Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each
measurement. Otherwise there may be diver-
gences.
You can perform the measurement either sit-
ting or lying down. Always make sure that the
cuff is on a level with your heart.
To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you are sitting comfortably with your arms and
back leaning on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the ground.
In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still during the measurement and not talk.
