1. Basic rules for blood pressure
measurement
• The measurement must be carried out
whilst you are relaxed. Walking or going
upstairs increases the blood pressure.
Please wait at least 5 minutes until your
pulse rate has returned to normal.
• Check your blood pressure twice a day – in
the morning after getting up and in the
evening after work when you are relaxed.
• To carry out the measurement, sit down
at your dining table. This ensures that the
cuff is kept at heart level.
• Perform the measurement on your bare
arm to reach exact values.
• Do not move the arm while wearing the
cuff.
GB-38

Important information

• Please wait at least 3 minutes between
successive measurements in order to avoid
measurement errors.
