5. Measuring blood pressure
Attach the cuff
•
Expose your left wrist. Ensure that the circulation of the arm
is not hindered by tight clothing or similar.
Place the cuff on the inside of your wrist.
•
Close the cuff with the hook-and-loop fastener such that the
upper edge of the device is positioned approx. 1 cm under-
neath the heel of the hand.
•
The cuff must be fitted tightly around the wrist, but must not
constrict.
Adopt the correct posture
•
Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
Otherwise deviations can occur.
•
You can perform the measurement while
sitting or lying. 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. Make sure to rest your
arm and move it. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart
level. Otherwise significant deviations can occur. Relax your
arm and the palm of your hand.
•
To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain
still during the measurement and not to speak!
