GENERAL REMARKS
General remarks on blood pressure and blood pressure measurement
1.
To deflate the cuff quickly, press the "START/STOP" switch.
2.
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the
appropriate size cuff:
Cuff (model: SCN-003) fits arm circumference: 22-32cm
[OPTION]
Large Cuff (model: SCL-005) fits arm circumference: 32-42cm
3.
When attaching the cuff, adjust the position of the cuff so that the blue marker is
located in the center of your arm and the hem of the cuff is 1-2 cm for Cuff / 2-3
cm for Large Cuff above your elbow.
4.
Self measurement is not therapy! In no event should you change the dosage of
your medication prescribed by your physician.
5.
As preparation for measuring your blood pressure, you should urinate and then
remain relatively still for 10 to 15 minutes prior to measurement.
6.
DO NOT place too much emphasis on the results of one measurement. Keep a
continuing record of your blood pressure variations. A complete picture can only
be obtained from a large number of readings.
To obtain correct blood pressure measurements
1.
Take five or six deep breaths and then relax before measuring your blood pressure.
If you are tense when taking the measurement, you will not get a valid reading.
2.
Your blood pressure will be elevated if you are anxious or irritated,
suffering from lack of sleep or constipation, or have just taken some
exercise or eaten a meal.
