Also make sure that when making the measurement, support your arm so your elbow is at the level of your heart. Also don't be over anxious and tense. Just relax.I have noted that Japanese built Pansonic instruments are quite accurate. These aren't available anymore. I do have a Welch Allyn ProBP2400 which is for clinical use (costs about 500USD) which is accurate to about +/- 3 mmHg.I measure mine using an old Accoson sphygmomanometer (hand pump & mercury column) - guaranteed to be accurate.</blockquote>
