MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:
• Position the monitor at the same level as your heart
during measurement to ensure accurate readings.
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition
and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour
after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages
with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure
blood pressure.

arm or hand muscles.
• See page 31 for additional notes regarding your
