MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is
in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition
and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1
hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking
beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking
to measure blood pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit
quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken
during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy.
You should not be physically tired or exhausted
while taking a measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your
arm or hand muscles.
• See page 23 for additional notes regarding your
blood pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.
