GETTING STARTED

Before taking a measurement
1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or
healthcare professional with access to your individual medical history.
Regular use of a home blood pressure monitor will allow you to track
and record your readings for discussion with your physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a relaxed
position. Rest for 15 minutes before taking your reading. If an error
occurs or you desire to take a second reading, allow 15 minutes
between readings for your blood vessels to return to normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical activity or
any other stressful activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may interfere
with the cuff placement.
5. Keep yourself and the monitor still during measuring; do not talk during
the reading.
6. It is recommended that you take your readings as the same time each
day to better monitor any indications in your results.
7. Record your daily measurement on the included chart or some other
written document to share with your physician.
