Important information

1. Basic rules for blood pressure
measurement
• Measurement must be performed when you
are at rest. Blood pressure is increased by
walking and climbing stairs. Wait at least 5-
10 minutes until your circulation has calmed
down.
• Check your blood pressure twice a day – in
the morning after getting up, and in the
evening when you have relaxed after work.
• Blood pressure must be measured when
you are seated. For measurement, sit down
at your dining table (never at a low coffee
table) in as relaxed and upright a posture as
possible, support the arm and back, and do
not cross your legs. Keep your wrist at heart
level. Do not bend your wrist.
• The most reliable way of obtaining accurate
measurements is to take off your watch or
jewellery and perform measurement on your
bare wrist.
• During measurement the arm with the cuff
must remain still in order to prevent interfe-
ring pulses. Do not talk during measurement.
• Between successive measurements always
take a break of about 3-5 minutes in order to
prevent incorrect measurements.
