3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using
this Device
Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement
and relax.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
It is recommended that doctors perform double arm measu-
rements on a patients first visit in order to determine which
arm to measure in the future. The arm with the higher blood
pressure should be measured.
4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid
constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up – they do
not interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.
3 as far as it will go.
