BP-500.
Important use instructions:
- What is the correct measuring position?
The wrist-type blood pressure monitor can non be used like a wristwatch. The display should be placed on the palm side of the wrist (see image below). The cuff's upper edge should approximately 1 cm (0.39 inch) from the palm line.
Also, ensure that the measuring site is at heart level (see image below).
Don't press on the cuff, don't move or talk. Lay the arm on the case if necessary. The main cause of erroneous measures with wrist-type blood pressure monitors is the wrong measuring posture. If the measuing site is higher or lower than heart level, the measure is affected.
