Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement
• Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under the same
conditions.
• Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking, coffee, tea consumption or any
form of exertion. These factors will influence the measurement results.
• Always measure on the same wrist (normally left).
• Take off wrist watch and jewelry before fitting the monitor on the measuring arm.
• Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating a measurement.

1. While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, especially the
hand of the measuring arm (normally left), do not move or speak.
2. Fasten the monitor on the PALM side of your wrist, roughly 2 cm below
the palm line. DO NOT ATTACH LIKE A WRIST WATCH. Make sure that
the cuff fits tightly. See Cuff fitting on page 10.
