BEFORE TAKING A MESUREMENT

Follow these instructions before taking a measurement:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a
measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3. The cuff can be applied to your left or right wrist. Always measure your blood pressure on the same
Arm.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Position the unit at heart level throughout the measurement.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement
does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each
day for consistency.
8. Wait 30-60 seconds between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the
condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time
depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
