5. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

5.1. Before measuring:

• Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement. All these factors influence
the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quite atmosphere for about ten minutes
before the measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Compare measurements taken at the same time of day, since blood pressure changes during the course of the day.

5.2. Common sources of error:

Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions! Conditions
should always be quiet.
• All efforts by the user to support the arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed
position and do not flex any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the measurement. Use a cushion for
support if necessary.
• If the arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneously high or low blood pressure will be
measured! Each 15cm (6 inch) difference in height between your heart and the cuff results in a measurement error of
10 mmHg!
• Cuffs that are too narrow or too short result in false measurement values. Selecting the correct cuff is extremely
important. Cuff size is dependent upon the circumference of the arm (measured in the center). The permissible range
is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your use, please contact Microlife USA. Large cuff sizes are sold sep-
arately.
Note: Only use clinically approved CVS or Microlife Cuffs!
• A loose cuff or a sideways protruding air pocket causes false measurement values.
• With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead to false results. Consecutive blood
pressure measurements should be repeated after a 1 minute pause or after your arm has been held up in order to
allow the accumulated blood to flow away.
Please note, clinical studies have proven the Microlife Average Mode (MAM) system with a 15 second wait period
between the second and third measurements. If you decide to retake your MAM measurement again, be sure to wait at
least one minute before repeating a MAM measurement.
