Correct Measurement Posture - Walgreens WGNBPW-930BT Manual

4.
In order to ensure accurate
measurements, fasten the hook
and loop strap securely around
your wrist so there is no extra
space between the cuff and the
wrist as shown in Fig. C. If the
cuff is not wrapped tight enough,
the measurement values will not
be accurate.
5. If your physician has diagnosed
you with poor circulation in your
left arm, place the cuff around
your right wrist as shown in
Fig. D.
Note:
• This device should not be used when your wrist is
wounded or injured.
• If it is not possible to use the cuff on your left wrist,
it can also be used on your right wrist. However, all
measurements should be made using the same wrist.

CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE

1. Place your elbow on a table so that
the cuff is at the same level as your
heart as shown in Fig. A. Relax your
entire body, especially between your
elbow and fingers.
Note:
Your heart is located slightly below
your armpit.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level as
your heart or if you cannot keep your
arm completely still throughout the
reading, use a soft object such as a
folded towel to support your wrist as
shown in Fig. B.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6
deep breaths.
Avoid leaning back while the
measurement is being taken as
shown in Fig. C.
