3. Important usage information

The measurement results of automated blood pressure monitors can
be influenced by the measuring location, posture, previous exertion
and general physical condition. Please pay attention to the usage in-
formation in order to obtain accurate readings.
• Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or smoke for at least one hour
before measuring.
• For the measurement the circulation must be calm. Rest for at
least 5 minutes before taking the measurement. Depending on the
previous degree of exertion, you may even need to rest for up to
an hour.
• Expose the upper arm. Under no circumstances may clothes hinder
the blood flow to or from the arm, as this affects the blood pres-
sure at the measuring point and can lead to incorrect readings.
• Do not move or talk during measuring.
• Breath slowly and deeply. Do not hold your breath.
• Check the display for irregular pulse signals. If required, repeat the
measurement when conditions have improved.
• In order to exclude side differences and to obtain comparable
measurement results, it is important to always take the measure-
ment on the same arm. Ask your doctor which side it is advisable
for you to measure.
• Always take your daily blood pressure measurements at around
the same time.
• Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It can go up or down by more
than 20 mmHg in patients within a few minutes.
