5. How do I take a measurement?
Please note: You should always be seated before and during measurement
5.1.Preparing to take a measurement
• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly
before measurement. These factors influence the measurement
result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmos-
phere for about 5 minutes before measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Always perform measurements at the same time of day, since the
blood pressure changes during the course of the day.
