• You have four or more pulse intervals and the difference between
each interval and the average is more than the average value of ±15%
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
• Your blood pressure varies multiple times everyday. It is also affected
by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so take
the measurement under the same conditions.
• Your blood pressure may vary more if you take a medication.
• Wait at least three minutes between measurements.
Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared to the
hospital?
Blood pressure varies throughout the day due to weather, emotions,
exercise, and other factors. Also, there is a “white coat” effect, meaning
blood pressure usually increases in clinical settings.
When you measure your blood pressure at home:
• Make sure that the cuff is attached correctly.
• Make sure that cuff is not too tight or too loose.
• Make sure that the cuff is attached to your upper arm.
• If you feel anxious, take two to three deep breaths before beginning.
Relax for four to five minutes until you calm down.
Is the result the same if measuring on the right arm?
While it is okay to measure with either arm, we suggest you measure
the same arm every time.
CAUTION: The appearance of the
irregular heartbeat symbol
indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular
heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a
cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, seek
medical advice. This monitor does not replace a cardiac
examination but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early
stage.
