3. Using the Unit
Note: You can take a measurement on either your left or right
arm. The blood pressure can differ between the right
arm and the left arm and therefore also the measured
blood pressure values can be different. Omron
recommends to always use the same arm for
measurement. If the values between the two arms differ
substantially, please check with your physician which
arm to use for your measurement.
Incorrect Posture
If you are leaning forwards, this can put pressure
on your stomach, which could cause the
measurement results to be incorrect. Readings
cannot be taken correctly in the following cases.
• Arched back (leaning
forwards)
• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low
table so that you tend to
lean forward
If the unit is too far
away from your
body.
If the unit is at a
level lower than
your heart.
