You can take the measurement while sitting or lying down. To
take your blood pressure, 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.

Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruptions of the heart
rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this after
the measurement with the symbol
.
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness
in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the
bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The symp-
toms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or
too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age,
physical make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep.
