2.3 General Precautions
• When you take a measurement on the right arm, the air tube should
be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the
air tube.
• Blood pressure may differ between the right and left arm, and
may result in a different measurement value. Always use the same
arm for measurements. If the values between both arms differ
substantially, check with your physician on which arm to use for
your measurements.
Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse
readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide
an accurate indication of your true blood pressure.
Please use the Blood Pressure Diary to keep records of several
readings over a certain period of time. To download PDF files of the
diary, visit www.omron-healthcare.com.
