The measurement results of automated blood pressure monitors can
be influenced by the measuring location, posture, previous exertion
and general physical condition. Please pay attention to the usage in-
formation in order to obtain accurate readings.
• Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or smoke for at least one hour
before measuring.
• For the measurement the circulation must be calm. Rest for at
least 5 minutes before taking the measurement. Depending on the
previous degree of exertion, you may even need to rest for up to
an hour.
• Expose the upper arm. Under no circumstances may clothes hinder
the blood flow to or from the arm, as this affects the blood pres-
sure at the measuring point and can lead to incorrect readings.
• Breath slowly and deeply. Do not hold your breath.
• Check the display for irregular pulse signals. If required, repeat the
measurement when conditions have improved.
• In order to exclude side differences and to obtain comparable
measurement results, it is important to always take the measure-
ment on the same arm. Ask your doctor which side it is advisable
for you to measure.
• Always take your daily blood pressure measurements at around
the same time.
• Do not move or talk during measuring.
• Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It can go up or down by more
than 20 mmHg in patients within a few minutes.
