1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your
physician or healthcare professional with access
to your individual medical history. Regular use of
a home blood pressure monitor will allow you to
track and record your readings for discussion with
your physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while
seated in a relaxed position. Rest for 15 minutes
before taking your reading. If an error occurs or
you desire to take a second reading, allow 15
minutes between readings for your blood vessels
to return to normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication,
alcohol, physical activity or any other stressful
activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing
that may interfere with the cuff placement.
