Important information

1. Basic rules for blood pressure measurement

• Measurement must be performed when you are at

rest. Blood pressure is increased by walking and

climbing stairs. Wait at least 5-10 minutes until your

circulation has calmed down.

• Check your blood pressure twice a day – in the

morning after getting up, and in the evening when

you have relaxed after work.

• Blood pressure should be measured when you are

seated. For measurement, sit down at your dining

table (never at a low coffee table) in as relaxed and

upright a posture as possible, support the arm and

back, and do not cross your legs. Keep your wrist at

heart level. Do not bend your wrist.

• The most reliable way of obtaining accurate

measurements is to take off your watch or jewellery

and perform measurement on your bare wrist.

• During measurement the arm with the cuff must

remain still in order to prevent interfering pulses.

Do not talk during measurement.

• Between successive measurements always take

a break of about 3-5 minutes in order to prevent

incorrect measurements.

2. Other points to note

• Wrist circumference

The cuff is designed for a wrist circumference

of 12,5 – 21,5 cm.

• Cardiac arrhythmia / Irregular pulse waves

If you suffer from cardiac arrhythmia. Therefore

consult your doctor before measuring your blood

pressure. The monitor is also equipped with a pulse

unrest detection facility. This indicates to users the

irregular pulse waves signals during a measurement.
