GENERAL REMARKS
General remarks on blood pressure and blood pressure
measurement
1. If the cuff is to be deflated quickly, depress “Exhaust button”.
2. The attached cuff is suited for an arm circumstance of 22 cm to 32
cm.
3. When attaching the cuff, the air hose should be placed on the inside
of your arm on top of the arterial.
4. Self measurement is not therapy! In no case may you change the
dosage of medication prescribed by your physician.
5. In preparation for blood pressure measurement, you should urinate
and then remain relatively still for 10 to 15 minutes prior to
measurement.
6. Exercising, eating, drinking, smoking, etc., prior to measurement may
affect the results.
7. Blood pressure varies constantly throughout the day. Measurement
should be made regularly at the same time each day.
8. DO NOT be too impressed by the results of one measurement. Keep
a record of blood pressure variations. Many reading tell a story.
9. Emotional stress may tend to cause blood pressure to rise.
For proper measure of blood pressure
1. Take a deep breath five or six times and then relax before measuring
your blood pressure. If you are tense when taking the measurement,
you will not get a valid reading.
2. Blood pressure will be elevated when you are in a worrisome or
irritated state, suffering from lack of sleep or constipation, or after
exercise or a meal.
3. Wrap the cuff around the arm and tighten it so that one finger may be
inserted between the cuff and arm. (See page 12)
4. DO NOT measure blood pressure after bathing or drinking.
5. When you feel like relieving yourself, you should do so before
measuring your blood pressure.
6. Measure your blood pressure where the room temperature is about
20°C. DO NOT measure blood pressure when it is too cold (below
10°C) or too hot (above 40°C) in the room.
7. DO NOT try to measure blood pressure immediately after drinking
coffee or tea or smoking.
8. Measure blood pressure with a relaxed and quiet posture. Keep the
center of the cuff at the level of your heart, and DO NOT move your
arm or talk.
9. DO NOT measure blood pressure after the cuff has been on for a few
minute, as your arm will have built up higher blood pressure, and you
will not get valid reading.
10.Next figure shows the classification of blood pressure according to
WHO-standard.
Measure your blood pressure at the same time on a daily basis.
* The blood pressure changes at all times. This means that data
gathered over a long period has great significance instead of data on
just one measurement. It is therefore necessary to measure your
blood pressure on a daily basis. Ideally, you should measure your
blood pressure daily at the same time as far as possible.
