Why are the measured values different for the left and right wrist?

between the left and right wrists may be around
10 mmHg. The blood pressure monitor can take
measurements on either the left or right wrist,
but all measurements should be taken using the
same wrist.

~" pressure on the sleeve strap which is caused by movement of the
use's during measurement and displays the "Movement Detection"
symbol when this occurs. Because of this,the"Movement Detection"
symbol may not be displayed if the movement does not affect the
sleeve strap.
If you are unsure about the measurement, please do it again.

position of the hand and the wrist is fixed according to

"Movement Detection" is displayed, please measure again.
