Topcom BPM Wrist 1481
10 Measuring your blood pressure
10.1 Posture
1. Relax your entire body, especially the
area between your elbow and fingers.
Place your elbow on a table so that the
cuff is at the same level as your heart.
Your heart is located slightly below
your arm pit.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level as
your heart or if you can not keep your
arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such
as folded towel to support your arm.
3. Turn your palm upwards. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep
breaths. Avoid leaning back during measurement.
10.2 Important
•
This monitor automatically switches off 1 minute after the last key
operation.
•
To interrupt the measurement, simply press 'START/STOP'. The
cuff will deflate.
•
During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand
muscles.
