• 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.
• The measurement results of automatic blood pressure
meters can be affected by where the measurement is taken,
your posture, recent physical activity and your physical
condition. Observe the usage instructions to ensure correct
readings.
• Expose the upper arm. Clothing must not impair the blood
flow in or from the arm, as this influences the blood pres-
sure at the measurement point.
3. Important instructions for use
• It is absolutely essential to sit still and remain quiet. Irregular
movements, vibrations (shaking), talking and breathing heav-
ily 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.
• Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It may fluctuate upwards
or downwards by more than 20 mmHg on patients within a
few minutes.
• In order to rule out differences between left and right and
to obtain comparable measurement results, it is important
always to take blood pressure measurements on the same
arm. Ask your doctor which arm he/she recommends you
take your measurements on.
