Advice on use

• For consistency, always measure your blood pres-
sure at the same time each day.
• Always wait at least 1 minute between measure-
ments to allow the blood circulation in your arm to
return to normal. You may need to increase the wait
time depending on your individual physiological
characteristics. Because of normal physiologic
changes and the many external factors influen-
cing blood pressure, it is unusual to obtain identical
blood pressure measurements, even when taken
a few minutes apart. Speak with your physician
to determine what is affecting your blood pres-
sure and which variation may be seen as normal
in your case.
• When performing multiple measurements on an
individual, wait one minute between each meas-
urement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of
eating, drinking, smoking or exercising. You should
not be physically tired or exhausted while taking
measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the
results.
• Measurements are for your information only – they
are no substitute for a medical examination. Dis-
cuss the measurements with your doctor and never
base any medical decisions on them (e.g. medi-
cines and their administration).
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on new-
borns, pregnant women or patients with pre-
eclampsia. Consult your doctor before using the
blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect
measurements or have a detrimental effect on
measurement accuracy. The same also applies to
very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory dis-
orders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pres-
sure, keeping long-term records is recommended.
• To minimize measurement variations due to physic-
al activity, rest at least 5 minutes before measuring
your blood pressure (or 15 minutes after strenu-
ous activity).
• Stress raises blood pressure.
