BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:

1.Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement.

2.Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.

3.The cuff can be applied to your left or right wrist.

4.Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.

5.Position the unit at heart level throughout the measurement.

6.Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.

7.Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

8.Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
