NOTICE!
For ideal measurement results,
follow the basic rules below when
measuring your blood pressure.
− If possible, always measure your blood pressure at
the same time of day for comparable results.
− At least 30 minutes before you perform a measure-
ment, do not smoke, eat or drink and avoid physical
exertion.
− Give your circulatory system about five minutes to
calm down each time before you perform a meas-
urement.
− If the measurements are not plausible, repeat the
measurement.
− Wait at least five minutes before taking another
measurement for the same person.
− The results of your blood pressure measurements
are for your information and are no substitute for
a medical examination. Do not make any medical
decisions based on your own measurements (e.g.
with respect to taking medication or their dosage).
Consult your physician if you have questions about
the measurements.
− Do not use this blood pressure monitor to perform
any measurements on preeclampsia patients or
newborn babies.
