General remarks on blood pressure and blood pressure measurement
1. If the cuff is to be deflated quickly, depress “POWER” switch.
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 15)
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.
