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.
