comfortable surroundings as measurements can be affected by high or low
temperatures. The blood pressure should be measured at normal body
temperatures.
• Do not move or speak during measurement. Keep your feet flat on the floor.
• Do not touch the cuff or the blood pressure device during measurement.
• To obtain the best possible measurement, the blood pressure should be
measured at approximately the same time every day, and on the same arm.
• If you are to perform several successive measurements, please wait 5
minutes between each measurement.
• The measurements are for guidance only. If you have doubts about your
blood pressure, consult your doctor.
• The blood pressure device automatically deflates when the pressure
exceeds 300 mmHg.
• The product is not suited for persons suffering from arrhythmia (heart rhythm
