HOW TO MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CORRECTLY
Before taking a reading, you should sit quietly for around 10 minutes and there should be an
interval of at least 5 minutes between two readings. While taking a measurement you should
stay calm and relaxed, and try not to talk. This will improve the accuracy of the readings. The
measuring steps are taken as follows:
Applying the arm cuff
1) Plug the air tube connector by slight pressure into the connection socket all out (socket is in
storage space for the arm cuff).
2) Put your uncovered arm through the cuff loop as shown in the figure below. The air tube
should be running down the centre of your arm.
3) Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 2.5 cm
above your elbow. Tighten the cuff end of the cuff and fasten it by Velcro, but not too tight
(you must be able to fit two fingers between the cuff and your arm). If the cuff is too tight, the
readings will not be accurate. Make sure that the cuff is not folded anywhere and that the
entire surface of the reinforced end is placed against your arm. The entire length of the air
tube leading to the unit should not be squeezed anywhere.
4) Make sure the cuff is at heart level.
– When measuring blood pressure, lightly bend your elbow while resting your arm on a table.
– If the level of the arm cuff is lower than the heart, adjust the height by using a pillow or a cushion.
Note:
The following factors can affect the results of blood pressure readings: exercise, having a show-
er or a bath, using the toilet, breathing, speaking, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking medication,
eating, fluid intake, changes in temperatures, stress, mood, vibrations etc.
In order to achieve correct measurements, follow the below instructions:
1) Do not eat, smoke or drink (especially alcohol) prior to taking the readings. If you feel a
strong urge to urinate, please do so. All these factors have an impact on the measurement
result (e.g. full urinary bladder may cause the blood pressure to increase by ca. 10 mmHg).
2) Sit in a chair, place your feet on the ground or lie on a bed. Relax and try to stay calm for at
least 5 to 10 minutes.
