Measurement Procedure - HoMedics Deluxe Wrist Manuel D'instructions

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:
• Position the monitor at the same level as your heart
during measurement to ensure accurate readings.
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition
and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour
after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages
with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood
pressure.
• Before a measurement, it is suggested that you sit
quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during
a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should
not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a
measurement.
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your
wrist or hand muscles.
• See page 28 for additional notes regarding your
blood pressure measurement.
If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.
