6.3 Measurement
6.3.1 Prepare for measurement
Check if the measurement window of the AGE
Reader mu is clean, if not clean the
measurement window first.
See chapter 8 for instructions.
Ensure that the silicon mat is positioned
properly. The silicon mat has a symmetrical
shape to ease positioning on the AGE
Reader mu.
The two notches on both side of the top
surface align the mat with the measurement
window of the AGE Reader mu (figure 5).
Make sure that the mat touches the top
surface of the AGE Reader mu everywhere by
mildly pressing the mat.
Figure 5. Silicon mat positioning
The patient’s dominant forearm should be
placed on the AGE Reader mu as
indicated in figure 6. Ensure that the arm
lies in a relaxed position to avoid arm
movements during the measurement.
Measurements are preferably performed on
the inner side of the dominant lower forearm
on healthy undamaged skin without
birthmarks, excessive hair growth or tattoos
(see chapter 2).
