Tips for Accurate Measurements
- Rest for 5 minutes before measuring.
- Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood circulation
to recover.
- For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For
example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same
arm, or as directed by a doctor.
- Sit comfortably. Do not cross your legs and keep your feet flat on the ground. Keep
your back against the backrest of the chair.
