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 at 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.
