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.

• Before measurement, it is
suggested that you sit quietly for 15
minutes as measurements taken
during a relaxed state will have
greater accuracy. You should not be
physically tired or exhausted while
taking a measurement.
• During the measurement, do not
talk or move your arm or hand
muscles.
• See page 27 for additional notes
regarding your blood pressure
measurement.
