Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain a more accurate reading.

A.  Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after 

consuming a large meal.  To obtain more accurate 
readings, please wait one hour before measuring.

B.  Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your 

blood pressure.

C.  You should not be physically tired or exhausted while 

taking a measurement.

D.  It is important that you relax during measurement.  Take 

a 15-minute rest before a reading.

E.  Do not take measurements if you are under stress or 

feeling tense.

F.  Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature.  If 

you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a 
measurement. 

G.  If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near 

freezing), place it in a warm location for at least one hour 
before using it.

H.  Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure 

measurement.

E.  If it is not possible to 

measure on the left wrist, 
attach the cuff on the right 
wrist as shown in Fig. C
