MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Note:
• 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.

before taking a measurement:
• Wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking
beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure
blood pressure.
• Sit quietly and rest for 15 minutes.
• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements
during stressful times.

measurements can be affected by hot or cold temperatures.
Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature.
