•

Fasten the cuff with the Velcro fastening so that the up-

per edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 0.4” (1 cm)

below the ball of your thumb.

•

The cuff has to be fitted tightly around the wrist but should

not constrict it.

5.2 Correct posture

•

Rest at least for 5 minutes before each measurement.

Otherwise there may be erroneous results.

•

You can perform the measurement ei-

ther sitting or lying down. Always make

sure that the cuff is on a level with your

heart. Otherwise there may be serious

divergences. Relax your arm and the

palms of your hands.

•

In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep

still during the measurement and not talk. The most pre-

cise measurement results are obtained if you strive for a

relaxed measurement situation. You may close your eyes

and breathe calmly during the measurement.

•

Please note that any muscle movement during inflation

or deflation can cause measurement error.

5.3 General Notes

•

For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,

keeping long-term records is recommended.

•

To minimize measurement variations due to physical

activity, rest at least 5 minutes before measuring your

blood pressure (or 15 minutes after strenuous activity).

You should not be physically tired or exhausted while tak-

ing measurement.

•

In order to obtain a resting condition blood pressure,

avoid eating, drinking alcohol and caffeinated beverag-

es, smoking, exercising, and bathing for at least 30 min-

utes before taking a measurement.

•

Stress raises blood pressure.

•

Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed environ-

ment at room temperature.

•

Always wait at least 5 minutes between measurements

to allow the blood circulation in your arm to return to nor-

mal. You may need to increase the wait time depending

on your individual physiological characteristics. Because

of normal physiologic changes and the many external

factors influencing blood pressure, it is unusual to ob-

tain 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.

•

The accuracy of any blood pressure measurement with

this device can be affected by a multitude of causes.

Some can be avoided some have to be accepted at the

time of measurement. Speak with your physician about

possible causes affecting your blood pressure.
