GETTING STARTED

Before Taking a Measurement

1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or
healthcare professional with access to your individual medical
history. Regular use of a home blood pressure monitor will allow
you to track and record your readings for discussion with your
physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a
relaxed position. Rest for 15 minutes before taking your reading.
If an error occurs or you desire to take a second reading, allow
15 minutes between readings for your blood vessels to return to
normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical
activity or any other stressful activity for 30 minutes prior to
taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may
interfere with the cuff placement.
5. Keep yourself and the monitor still during measuring; do not talk
during the reading.
6. It is recommended that you take your readings as the same time
each day to better monitor any indications in your results.
7. Record your daily measurement on the included chart or some
other written document to share with your physician.
