Before Taking a Measurement

1. Avoid eating,drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing for
30 minutes before taking a measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
3. The cuff can be applied to your left or right wrist. Always measure your
blood pressure on the same wrist.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Position the unit at heart level throughout the measurement.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your
physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication
of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings
over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day for consistency.
8. Wait 30 ~ 60 seconds between measurements. The wait time allows the
arteries to return to their condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your
individual physiological characteristics.
