construction of tubing, there is a possibility that they might be
inadvertently connected to intravascular fluid systems, allowing
air to be pumped into a blood vessel.
Blood pressure measurements determined with the device are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the
cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method, within the limit prescribed

or at least 30 minutes before you take your blood pressure
a
nd don't use any medicines that can raise blood pressure.
Try not to take your blood pressure if you are nervous or
upset. If we are nervous, anxious, or agitated our blood pressure
will rise.
Rest for 5～10 minutes before taking a reading. Sit in a
comfortable, relaxed position. Don't move around or talk while
taking the blood pressure. Leave your legs in one position, breath
freely and calmly.
The blood pressure cuff should fit over about 3/4 of your upper
arm. It should easily go around the arm and the Velcro should
close tightly.
If you can, use the same arm for every reading.
Measuring blood pressure at the same time on different days
should give about the same reading (excluding outside influences
like exercise).

Changes in medication or nutritional supplement can alter
your result. Please consult your doctor before taking or stopping
medications or supplement.

Relax, place the elbow on the desk with palm facing up; cuff
should be at the heart level (Fig 10). The reading accuracy may
be affected if the cuff is not fitted properly. The arm should be
at the same level of your heart. If your arm is too low, your
reading will be too high. If your arm is too high, your reading
will be too low.
