Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a physician
or trained health professional who is familiar with one's medical
history. By using the unit regularly and recording the results for the
physician to interpret, one can keep the physician informed of the
continuing trends in one's blood pressure.
Sit quietly for about 10 minutes. This will allow your body to return
•
to its normal resting state.
Wrap the cuff snug around your upper arm and lay your arm on a
•
flat surface at the same level as your heart. Your feet should be flat
on the floor.
•
The pumping of the bulb should be the only movement you make
during the measurement. Pump with consistent, steady pressure.
•
Perform the measurement in a quiet environment, in a relaxed posi-
tion at room temperature. For consistency, we recommend using
the same arm (left arm if possible) and testing around the same
time each day.
