IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
• Take your reading in a comfortable environment
as measurements can be affected by hot or cold
temperatures. Take your blood pressure at normal
body temperature.
• Do not move or talk during measurement as this can
elevate readings.
• Do not move or cross legs during measurement. Keep
feet flat on floor.
• Do not touch cuff or monitor during measurement
procedure.
• It is suggested that you take your measurements at
the same time each day and use the same arm for
consistency.
• Users should wait a minimum of 5 minutes before
taking additional measurements. More time may be
necessary depending upon your physiology.
• The measurement results that users receive are for
reference only. If users have any blood pressure
concerns, please consult a physician.
• Once inflation reaches 300 mmHg, the unit will
deflate automatically for safety reasons.
