5.2 Correct posture

• Rest at least for 5 minutes before each measurement.
Otherwise there may be erroneous results.
• You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying
down. Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with
your heart.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep
still during the measurement and not talk. The most pre-
cise measurement results are obtained if you strive for a
relaxed measurement situation. You may close your eyes
and breathe calmly during the measurement.
• Please note that any muscle movement during inflation
or deflation can cause measurement error.
