Taking A Measurement - Omron BP653 Instruction Manual

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

The monitor is designed to store the blood pressure and the pulse rate in the
memory for two people (USER 1 or 2) every time a measurement is completed.
1. Select your USER ID (1 or 2).
2. Sit comfortably on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
Keep your back straight. Place your elbow on a table and
elevate cuff wrist to heart level.
NOTES: • The distance from the top of your seat measuring
to the top of the table you are sitting at, should be
12 ± 2 inches (30 ± 5 cm). If the distance
measured between the top of your seat and table
do not fall within this parameter, please correct
your seat or table height. If you are unable to make any seat or table
adjustments, please turn off the position indicator and position your
wrist at heart-level by yourself.
• The cuff must be approximately the same height as your heart. If the
cuff is too high above your heart, your blood pressure will read
artificially low. If the cuff is too low below your heart, your blood
pressure will be artificially high.
• Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench
your fist, or bend your wrist forward.
