6.2 Before the blood pressure
measurement
General rules when measuring your own blood
pressure
• In order to generate an informative profile of changes in
your blood pressure that can be used for comparisons,
you should measure your blood pressure regularly and
always at the same time of day.
Measure your blood pressure twice a day: once in the
morning after getting up and once in the evening.
• Always perform the measurement when you are suffi-
ciently physically rested. Avoid taking measurements at
stressful times.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make
sure always to rest for about 5 minutes.
• If you want to take several measurements in succession,
always make sure that you leave at least 1 minute be-
tween each measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you have doubts about the
measured value.
Attaching the cuff
You can measure your blood pressure on either arm. Some
deviations between the values in the right and left arm are
perfectly normal. Always perform the measurement on the
arm with the higher blood pressure values. Consult your doc-
tor about this before starting self-measurement.
• Always measure your blood pressure on the same arm.
• Only use the device with the cuff supplied, based on your
upper arm circumference.
• Before taking the measurement, check the fit using the
index mark described below.
1. Expose your upper arm. The circulation of the arm must
not be hindered by tight clothing or similar.
