Notes on use
• In order to ensure comparable values, always measure your
blood pressure at the same time of day.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating,
drinking, smoking or exercising.
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure
always to rest for about 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in
succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute
between the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured
value.
• The measured values taken by you are for your information
only – they are no substitute for a medical examination. Dis-
cuss the measured values with your doctor and never base
any medical decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration).
