Please keep quiet for 5-10 minutes,and avoid eating, drinking
alcohol,smoking,exercising and bathing before taking
measurement. All these factors will influence the measurement
result.
Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
Always measure on the same arm(normally left).
Take measurement regularly at the same time of every day,as
blood pressure changes even during the day.
All efforts by the patient to support their arm can increase blood
pressure.
Make sure you are in a comfortable,relax position and do not
activate any of the muscles in the measurement arm during
measurement.Use a cushion for support if necessary.
If the arm artery lies lower or higher than the heart,a false
reading will be obtained.
Note:
Only use clinically approved cuffs!
A loose cuff or a exposed bladder causes false reading.
With repeated measurements ,blood accumulates in the arm
which can lead to false reading.
Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated
after 1 minute pause or after the arm has been held up in order to
allow the accumulated blood to flow away.
