BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
TRO
1. Individual blood pressure varies multiple times everyday. It is also affected by the way you tie your
cuff and your measurement position, so please take the measurement under the same conditions.
2. If the person takes medicine, the pressure will vary more.
3. Wait at least 3 minutes for another measurement.
Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared to the hospital?
The blood pressure is different even throughout the day due to weather, emotion, exercise etc, Also,
there is the "white coat" effect, which means blood pressure usually increases in clinical settings.
What you need to pay attention to when you measure your blood pressure at home:
• If the cuff is tied properly on the upper arm.
• If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
• If you feel anxious.
• Taking 2-3 deep breaths before beginning will be better for measuring.
• Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.
Is the result the same if measuring on the right wrist?
It is ok for both wrists, but there will be some different results for different people. We suggest you
measure the same wrist every time.
