GETTING STARTED
Before Taking a Measurement
1.
Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or healthcare professional
with access to your individual medical history. Regular home blood pressure monitoring
will allow you to track and record your readings for discussion with your physician.
2.
Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a relaxed position. Rest for
15 minutes before taking your reading. If an error occurs or you desire to take a second
reading, allow 15 minutes between readings for your blood vessels to return to normal.
3.
Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical activity or any other stressful
activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4.
Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may interfere with the cuff
placement.
5.
Remain still during measuring; do not talk during the reading.
6.
It is recommended that you take your readings as the same time each day to better
monitor any indications in your results.
7.
Record your measurements to share with your physician.
