3. Measuring in the lying position
Lie down on your back. Place the device round
your wrist and keep it at heart level, supported by a
cushion for example. To relax before measurement,
take a deep breath 5 or 6 times. During measure-
ment it is important to keep your arm still and refrain
from talking.
If the cuff is lower or higher than heart level, the
measured value will tend to be higher or lower as the
case may be.
GB-40
Operation of the device
Correct measurements can only be obtained if the
cuff is at heart level. If the wrist is too high or too
low, it will lead to false results.
