When performing continuous measurements, wait 2 to 3 minutes between measurements for the
patient to relax.
Blood pressure measurement results are affected by the posture and physical condition of the patient.
If the patient moves or talks during measurement, correct measurement is not possible.
To obtain accurate measurement results, ensure the patient sits with good posture and his/her
back straight, and with his/her feet flat on the floor without crossing legs. Ensure the patient is
relaxed and remains still.
Adjust the height of the chair such that the cuff is at the same height as the heart. If the cuff is
not at the same height as the heart, correct measurement is not possible.
