MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
Position the monitor at the same level as your
heart during measurement to ensure accurate
readings.
Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and
is in constant fluctuation throughout the day.
Blood pressure measurement can be affected
by the position of the user, his or her physiologic
condition and other factors. For greatest
accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing,
eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or
caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
Before a measurement, it is suggested that
you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements
taken during a relaxed state will have greater
accuracy. You should not be physically tired or
exhausted while taking a measurement.
