Before Taking a Measurement

To help you obtain more accurate readings:

• Urinate if necessary.

• Remove any clothing and jewellery from your left arm. Placing

the cuff on anything other than bare skin can result in an

inaccurate reading.

• Sit in a comfortable position with your legs and ankles

uncrossed and your back supported.

• Sit quietly for 15 minutes before measuring your blood pressure.

• If you need to retake a reading, wait at least 5 minutes to allow

your circulation to return to normal.

• Pick a time of day, and take your blood pressure at about the

same time every day. Since your blood pressure varies at

different times of the day, this will make it easier for you to

compare your daily blood pressure readings. A good time to take

your blood pressure is in the morning, before breakfast.

• Don't smoke, eat or exercise for 30 minutes before taking your

blood pressure. These activities can change your blood pressure.

• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after

consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings,

please wait one hour before measuring.

• Only take your blood pressure in a quiet place and when you are

relaxed. Don't take your blood pressure when you are under

stress. Any stress will raise your blood pressure.

• Position your arm so that the cuff is at the level of your heart.

• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing),

place it in a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
