Wrist blood pressure monitor Use Instructions
Note: Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs. A better indication of an indivi-
dual’s blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time each day over
an extended period of time. Consult your physical if test results remain abnormal.
Blood Pressure Q&A
Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home or at a professional
healthcare clinic?
A: Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a more accurate account
as they better reflect your daily life.
Readings can be elevated when taken in a clinical or medical environment. This is known
as White Coat Hypertension and may be caused by feeling anxious or nervous.
Note: Abnormal test results may be caused by:
1. Improper cuff placement
Make sure cuff is snug-not too tight or too loose.
2. Improper body position
Make sure to keep your body in an upright position.
3. Feeling anxious or nervous
Take 2-3 deep breaths, wait a few minutes and resume testing.
Q: What causes different readings?
A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day. Many factors including diet,
stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect an individual’s blood pressure.
Q: Should I apply the cuff to the left or right wrist? What is the difference?
A: Either wrist can be used when testing, however, when comparing results, the same
wrist should be used.
Testing on your left wrist may provide more accurate results as it is located closer to your
heart.
Q: What is the best time of day for testing?
A: Morning time or any time you feel relaxed and stress free.
