3. Important instructions for use

• The measurement results of automatic blood pressure meters can be affected
by where the measurement is taken, your posture, recent physical activity
and your physical condition. Observe the usage instructions to ensure correct
readings.
• Refrain from drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages and smoking at least
one hour before measuring.
• Please rest at least 5 minutes before measuring. Depending on the previous
degree of stress/exertion, this can even require up to one hour.
• Expose the upper arm. Clothing must not impair the blood flow in or from the
arm, as this influences the blood pressure at the measurement point.
• It is absolutely essential to sit still and remain quiet. Irregular movements,
vibrations (shaking), talking and breathing heavily will affect and may even
falsify the measurement. Look out for irregular pulse signals in the display; if
necessary, repeat the measurement under more favourable conditions.
• Blood pressure is not a fixed value. It may fluctuate upwards or downwards by
more than 20 mmHg on patients within a few minutes.
• In order to rule out differences between left and right and to obtain compara-
ble measurement results, it is important always to take blood pressure meas-
urements on the same arm. Ask your doctor which arm he/she recommends
you take your measurements on.
