• Always wait at least 5 minutes between
measurements to allow the blood circulation
in your arm to return to normal. You may
need to increase the wait time depending on
your individual physiological characteristics.
Because of normal physiologic changes and
the many external factors influencing blood
pressure, it is unusual to obtain identical blood
pressure measurements, even when taken a
few minutes apart. Speak with your physician to
determine what is affecting your blood pressure
and which variation may be seen as normal in
your case.
• When performing multiple measurements on
an individual, wait five minutes between each
measurement.
• Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes
of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising. You
should not be physically tired or exhausted
while taking measurement.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of
the results.
• Measurements are for your information only
– they are no substitute for a medical
examination. Discuss the measurements
with your doctor and never base any medical
decisions on them (e.g. medicines and their
administration).
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on
newborns, pregnant women or patients with
pre-eclampsia. Consult your doctor before
using the blood pressure monitor during
pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect
measurements or have a detrimental effect on
measurement accuracy. The same also applies
to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory
disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or
shaking.
• For reliable monitoring and reference of
blood pressure, keeping long-term records is
recommended.
• To minimize measurement variations due to
physical activity, rest at least 5 minutes before
