Helpful Tips
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate
readings:
• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after
consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate
readings, please wait one hour before measuring.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your
blood pressure.
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while
taking a measurement.
• It is important that you relax during measurement.Take a
15-minute rest before taking a reading.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or
under tension.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If
you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a
measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near
freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one
hour before using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure
measurement.
