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

measure on the left wrist,
