Obtaining Accurate Measurements
Always take your blood pressure at the same time while sitting in the same position and using the same wrist.
It is recommended to check your blood pressure at least twice a day. It is best in the morning before breakfast and in the evening after work.
In the following situations, accurate measurements cannot be taken.
•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.)
Always rest for four to five minutes before taking your blood pressure.
Taking measurements while sitting down
1. Place your elbow on the table.
2. Align the device with the level of your heart.
3. Open and relax your hand with the palm facing up.
Please place your arm on top of the storage case once you have attached the pressure cuff.
