The blood pressure can differ between the right arm
and the left arm, and the measured blood pressure
values can be different. SMARTRO recommends to
always use the same arm for measurement. If the values
between both arms differ substantially, please check with
your physician which arm to use for your measurement.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and
comfortably seated, at a comfortable room temperature.
Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet
at on the oor.
Sit upright with your back straight.
Sit with your back and arm being supported.
The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at the
same level as your heart.
