Note:With normal daily activity, the wristband may move out of position. Be sure to check
wristband placement periodically to ensure proper placement.

no results will appear on the screen.

EASUREMENTS
To take a manual blood pressure measurement, you should be relaxed and comfortably seated in
a room with an ambient temperature.
Keep still, breath calmly and avoid movements.
Keep your upper arm next to the body, with your elbow bent so that your arm is
approximately at a 90-degree angle.
Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported.
Keep your feet flat and your legs uncrossed.
Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench your fist or bend your
wrist forward..
Activities, such as, bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising, and eating
may raise blood pressure. Stressful situations may also raise blood pressure. For the most
accurate measurements, wait at least thirty minutes after any of these activities or after
stressful events to take blood pressure measurements.
Rest for at least 5 – 10 minutes before taking a blood pressure measurement.
You should refrain from speaking and moving while taking manual measurements.
A single measurement is NOT an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You
