•
Please rest at least 5 minutes before measuring. Depending on the previous
degree of stress/exertion, this can even require up to one hour.
•
Refrain from drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages and smoking at least
one hour before measuring.
•
Expose the upper arm. Clothing must not impair the blood flow in or from the
arm, as this influences the blood pressure at the measurement point.
3. Important instructions for use
– For this purpose, sit at a table (if possible the height of a dining table, not
a coffee table!).
•
Body posture must be relaxed:
– Rest your back against the backrest of the chair.
– Rest your forearm completely flat, with the palm of your hand facing upwards.
– Place your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
•
It is absolutely essential to sit still and remain quiet. Irregular movements,
vibrations (shaking), talking and breathing heavily will affect and may even
falsify the measurement. Look out for irregular pulse signals in the display; if
necessary, repeat the measurement under more favourable conditions.
•
Unusual measurement results are possible with all automatically measuring
blood pressure measurement systems from time to time. Check yourself: did
you comply with the instructions for use above? If necessary, repeat the meas-
urement after allowing the blood circulation in the arm to recuperate briefly;
rest for about 3-5 minutes for this purpose. Tip: Remain seated, your monitor
will switch off automatically about 3 minutes after a measurement. After-
wards, we recommend that you repeat the measurement.
•
In order to rule out differences between left and right and to obtain compara-
ble measurement results, it is important always to take blood-pressure meas-
urements on the same arm. Ask your doctor which arm he/she recommends
you take your measurements on.
