Correct Method Of Measurement - Medline MDS1001 Manual Del Usuario

Please Note:
Some individuals with hypertension, diabetes, kidney disorders, arteriosclerosis or poor
circulation may see a significant difference in blood pressure readings taken from the wrist
as compared to readings from the upper arm. It is recommended that you consult with your
physician concerning the use of this monitor.

Correct Method of Measurement

To obtain the most accurate blood pressure measurement, please follow these important
directions:
1. Sit comfortably in a chair with your back supported. Place both feet flat on the floor and
keep your legs uncrossed.
2. Rest your left arm on a table and position your palm upwards.
IMPORTANT: The arm cuff must be at the same level as your heart, or accurate
measurement will not be possible. (Your heart is located slightly below your left armpit.)
3. Remain still, avoid moving or talking during the measurement.
