Begin To Measure, Taking And Storing A Reading - Hyundai BPM 700 Instruction Manual

5) 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.
3) Before applying the arm cuff, remove any tight clothes, watches or jewellery from your arm.
4) Rest your arm on the table so that it is loosely stretched and the cuff is at your heart level or
lie on a bed and place your arm alongside of your body (fig. 3). The arm must be at ease.
Do not speak while taking the readings.
5) The arm cuff must be at the heart level the whole time otherwise the readings will not be accurate.
6) Bear in mind that blood pressure changes during the day. Try to measure your blood pres-
sure several times during the day so that you can better understand your body and its
response to various situations (after physical activity, while working, after meals ...). If you
wish to achieve comparable results, always take the measurements at the same time of the
day and under the same conditions.
7) Do not give weight to one reading only. At least two readings should be taken and there
should be an interval of about 5 minutes between them. More readings taken after a longer
period of time will give you better information about your blood pressure.
8) Sensitive people might experience certain discomfort while taking the measurements.
9) If the pressure in the cuff is too high, if you do not feel well or if you start feeling unwell all of
a sudden, please press the key ON/OFF for immediate and fast deflation (deflating of air).
10) If the device is used in temperatures or moisture outside the limits specified in the section
on TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS, the readings will not be accurate.
BEGIN TO MEASURE
