•

Fasten the cuff with the Velcro fastening so that the

upper 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.

6.2 Correct posture

•

Rest at least for 5 minutes before each measurement.

Otherwise there may be erroneous results.

•

You can perform the measurement

either 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.

6.3 General Notes

•

For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,

keeping long-term records is recommended.

•

Always measure on the same wrist.

•

Do not share the cuff with other infecitve person to

avoid cross-infection.

•

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

taking 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

normal. Prolonged over-inflation of the bladder may

cause ecchymoma of your arm. You may need to in-

crease the wait time depending on your individual phys-

iological characteristics. Because of normal physiolog-

ic changes and the many external factors influencing

blood pressure, it is unusual to obtain identical blood

pressure measurements, even when taken a few min-

utes apart. Speak with your physician to determine

what is affecting your blood pressure and which varia-

tion may be seen as normal in your case.
