Taking A Measurement - Omron BP652 Instruction Manual

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

1. Sit comfortably on a chair with your feet flat on the
floor and place your elbow on a table in order to relax
before starting blood pressure measurement.
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 sensor
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.
