RECOMMENDATIONS ON CORRECT MEASUREMENTS
1. For correct measurement you should know that THE BLOOD PRESSURE IS SUBJECT
TO SHARP VARIATIONS EVEN WITHIN THE SHORT TIME INTERVALS. The blood pres-
sure depends on many factors. It is usually lower in summer and higher in winter. The
blood pressure varies together with the atmospheric pressure, depends on physical
loads, emotional excitement, stresses and dietary regime. Drugs, drinking alcohol
and smoking produce signifi cant eff ect. Even the very procedure of blood pressure
measurement in a polyclinic sends the blood pressure high in many people, thus, the
blood pressure measured at home often diff ers from the values received in a poly-
clinic. As the blood pressure tends to rise at low temperatures, make measurements
at an indoor temperature (approximately 20° C). If this Device stayed under a low tem-
perature, keep it for at least 1 hour at an indoor temperature before use, otherwise
the measurement result may be incorrect. During a day the diff erence in readings
for healthy people may be 30-50 mmHg of systolic pressure and to 10 mmHg of dia-
stolic pressure. The dependence of the blood pressure on various factors is individual
for each person. Accordingly, it is recommended to keep a special book with blood
pressure records. ONLY A CERTIFIED DOCTOR USING YOUR RECORDS IS CAPABLE TO
ANALYZE THE TENDENCY OF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE VARIATIONS.
2. At cardiovascular and some other diseases requiring blood pressure monitoring
make measurements in the hours fi xed by your attending doctor. REMEMBER THAT
THE DIAGNOSTIC AND ANY TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION MAY BE CONDUCTED
ONLY BY A CERTIFIED DOCTOR ON THE BASIS OF BLOOD PRESSURE VALUES OBTAINED
BY THIS DOCTOR. TAKING OF DRUGS AND THEIR DOSES SHOULD BE PRESCRIBED
ONLY BY YOUR ATTENDING DOCTOR.
3. At such disorders as deep vascular sclerosis, weak pulse wave and also in patients
with the prominent distortions of cardiac rhythm it may be diffi
cult to measure the
blood pressure accurately. IN SUCH CASES CONSULT A CERTIFIED DOCTOR ABOUT
APPLICATION OF THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE.
