What you should know about this
blood pressure monitor
For accurate measurements, all wrist blood pressure monitors
must be positioned at heart level. Example: If the monitor is
positioned 20 cm below heart level as shown on the left (e.g. by
putting the arm on a table), the reading you will obtain is
approximately 15 mmHg too high.
Therefore, the Braun TrueScan has an easy positioning system
(A): it guides you to hold your measuring arm in the right posi-
tion at heart level and gives you confirmation of correct arm
position before measurement is taken.
