5. Carrying out a Measurement

5.1. Before the measurement

• Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement. All these
factors influence the measurement result. Try to find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet
atmosphere for about 5 minutes before measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Take measurements regularly at the same time of day, since blood pressure changes during the course
of the day.
