TESTING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
This monitor provides you three different ways to measure your blood
pressure. Select from the operation below:
Single measurement
Preform an individual blood pressure measurement.
Averaging measurement
Automatically perform three (3) consecutive blood pressure
measurements and display the average result at the end.
Auscultatory Mode measurement
Only trained health-care professionals may use this mode to measure
blood pressure manually with a stethoscope by listening to Korotkoff
sounds.
Before Measurement
Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes before
measurement.
Wait for 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before measurement.
Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.
Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements. This break can be
longer if necessary, depending on your physical conditions.
Keep the records for your doctor as reference.
Blood pressure varies between each arm. Always measure your blood
pressure on the same arm.
