MEASUREMENT TIPS
Important Notes
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant
fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his
or her physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy,
avoid exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol
or caffeine, or smoking one hour prior to measuring blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it's suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as
measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You
should not be physically tired or exhausted when taking a measurement.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling
cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing),
have it placed at a warm location for at least two hours before using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
