se the unit consistent with the instruction pro-

vided in this manual.

Advice on use

•

F

or consistency, always measure your blood

pressure at the same time each day.

•A

lways wait at least 5 minutes between mea-

surements to allow the blood circulation in

your arm to return to normal. You may need to

increase the wait time depending on your indi-

vidual physiological characteristics. Because

of normal physiologic changes and the many

external factors influencing blood pressure, it

is unusual to obtain identical blood pressure

measurements, even when taken a few minutes

apart. Speak with your physician to determine

what is affecting your blood pressure and which

variation may be seen as normal in your case.

13

•

W

hen performing multiple measurements on

an individual, wait five minutes between each

measurement.

•D

o not take a measurement within 30 minutes

of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising. You

should not be physically tired or exhausted

while taking measurement.

•R

epeat the measurement if you are unsure of

the results.

•

M

easurements are for your information only

– they are no substitute for a medical exam-

ination. Discuss the measurements with your

doctor and never base any medical decisions

on them (e.g. medicines and their administra-

tion).

•

D

o not use the blood pressure monitor on new-

borns, pregnant women or patients with pre-ec-

lampsia. Consult your doctor before using the

blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.

•C

ardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect

measurements or have a detrimental effect on

measurement accuracy. The same also applies

to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circula-

tory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills

or shaking.

•F

or reliable monitoring and reference of blood

pressure, keeping long-term records is recom-

mended.

•

T

o minimize measurement variations due to

physical activity, rest at least 5 minutes before

measuring your blood pressure (or 15 minutes

after strenuous activity).

•S

tress raises blood pressure.

•P

erform measurements in a quiet and relaxed

environment at room temperature.
