1.2 Important Information
Refer to the following sections to learn about important safety instructions and how to take care of the Be.Better™
premium blood pressure monitor.
1.2A Safety Information
•
Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed with your
doctor or a physician who is familiar with your
family history.
•
If you are undergoing medical treatment and receiving medication, consult your doctor to determine the most
appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. Never alter the dosages of any medication without direction
from your doctor.
•
Your blood pressure depends on several factors, such as age, gender, weight and physical condition. It also
depends on the environment and your state of mind at the time of measurement. In general, your blood
pressure is lower when you are asleep and higher when you are active. Your blood pressure may be higher
when recorded at a hospital or a clinic and may be lower when measured in the relaxing comfort of your home.
Due to these variations, we recommend that you record your blood pressure regularly at home as well as at
your doctor's clinic.
•
Try to record your blood pressure regularly at the same time of the day and under the same conditions. This will
help your physician detect any extreme variations in your blood pressure and thus treat you accordingly.
