HOW TO USE
Getting into the measurement position
Sit quietly and relax while taking measurements.
Take a measurement while sitting at a desk and positioning the cuff at heart level as shown in the image below.
** Differences in height will cause differences in measured blood pressure values.
1.Place the elbow on the table or on something similar.
2. Align the height of the cuff to the heart.
3. Relax with your palm facing up.
Use the same upper arm with the same posture at the same time every day. We recommend three measurements a day.
First··· | Upon Waking (Because, with almost no influence from body |
| movements, the blood pressure is closest to that at night.) |
Second··· | Before Lunch (Because, with no influence from the meal, it provides |
| blood pressure values close to the highest of the day.) |
Third··· | At Bedtime (So as to obtain data close to your average blood pressure |
| values during the day.) |
This way, by taking measurements morning, noon and night, you can use the unit to learn the patterns of and monitor your blood pressure.
In the following situations, measurements might be abnormally influenced.
●● Within 1 hour after eating or drinking alcohol
●● Immediately after drinking coffee or tea, or smoking ●● In a moving vehicle
●● Immediately after exercising or taking a bath (Wait at least 20 minutes and take a measurement while staying quiet.)
●● In cold places (Take measurements at room temperatures around 68 °F (20 °C).) ●● When you need to urinate (Wait several minutes after urinating before taking
measurements.)
Be sure to comply with the following points for accurate measurements. Not following these points may make it impossible to obtain meaningful measurements: ●● Do not move your body, arm, or fingertips.
●● Do not touch the main unit or the cuff during measurement. ●● Do not talk.
●● Do not use devices emitting strong signals, such as cellular phones, near the main unit. The measurement may not be performed correctly due to the signal and this may lead to malfunctions.
