General instructions for self-measurement

1. Fluctuations in blood pressure are quite
normal. Even when measurements are
repeated, there can be marked differ-

reliable evaluation is only possible if reg-
ular measurements are taken under
comparable conditions and the measure-

change the dose of medicine prescribed
by your doctor of your own accord.
3. Irregular heartbeats can affect the accu-
racy of the monitor or result in incorrect
