TIPS TO BE REMEMBERED BEFORE USING THE MEASURING INSTRUMENT UNIT
•The blood pressure should be taken by a doctor or an expert who knows your illness history. By making a regular use of the blood pressure measuring unit and plotting the readings, you keep the doctor
•Tie the sleeve well around your wrist. The sleeve should be at the same height as your heart.
•Do not move or shake the measuring unit during measurement, because that would render the readings inaccurate.
•Carry out the measurement while you are at rest and unstressed.
•Do not wind the sleeve around the sleeve of your jacket or shirt, otherwise measuring the blood pressure is not possible.
•Please remember that the blood pressure changes according to nature and the time of the day and also depends upon several factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, medication consumption and physical stress and strain.
•In case of persons with a state caused by circulation problems (diabetes, kidney problems, calcification of arteries or circulation problems) the readings on this monitor can appear lower than in a blood pressure monitor, which measures the blood pressure on the upper arm. Please consult your doctor, to ensure whether the blood pressure measurement on your wrist will give correct readings.
•The readings obtained with this measuring unit correspond to those of a trained person, who carried out measurement with a sleeve or by listening through a stethoscope. The readings are within the limits defined by the National Standardization for electronic and automated Sphygmomanometer of the United Nations.
