General remarks on blood pressure and blood pressure
measurement
1. To
de
fl
ate the cuff quickly, press the “START/STOP” switch.
2. Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected the
appropriate size cuff:
Cuff (model: SCN-003)
fi
ts arm circumference: 22-32 cm
[OPTION]
Large Cuff (model: SCL-005)
fi
ts arm circumference: 32-42 cm
3. When attaching the cuff, adjust the position of the cuff so that the blue marker
is located in the center of your arm and the hem of the cuff is 1-2 cm for Cuff /
2-3 cm for Large Cuff above your elbow.
4. The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device, because it is intended for
home use.
5. Self measurement is not therapy! In no event should you change the dosage of
your medication prescribed by your physician.
6. As preparation for measuring your blood pressure, you should urinate and then
remain relatively still for 10 to 15 minutes prior to measurement.
7. Exercising, eating, drinking, smoking, etc., prior to measurement may affect the
results.
8. Your blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day. Measurements
should be taken regularly at the same time each day.
9. DO NOT place too much emphasis on the results of one measurement. Keep a
continuing record of your blood pressure variations. A complete picture can only
be obtained from a large number of readings.
10. Emotional stress tends to cause your blood pressure to rise.
To obtain correct blood pressure measurements
1. Take
fi
ve or six deep breaths and then relax before measuring your blood
pressure. If you are tense when taking the measurement, you will not get a valid
reading.
2. Your blood pressure will be elevated if you are anxious or irritated, suffering from
lack of sleep or constipation, or have just taken some exercise or eaten a meal.
3. Wrap the cuff around your arm and tighten it so that one
fi
nger can be inserted
between the cuff and arm. (
See page 12, 13)
4. DO NOT measure your blood pressure after bathing or drinking.
5. If you feel the need to urinate, do so before measuring your blood pressure.
6. Measure your blood pressure where the room temperature is around 20°C. DO
NOT measure your blood pressure when it is too cold (below 10°C) or too hot
(above 40°C) in the room.
7. DO NOT try to measure your blood pressure immediately after drinking coffee or
tea or after smoking.
