Blood Pressure Measurement/ECG Recording Tips
Blood pressure measurement tips to help ensure an accurate reading:
• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at the same times each day. Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is
recommended.
• Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not
provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. Please use the included Blood Pressure Diary to keep records of
several readings over a certain period of time. To download the PDF files of the Blood Pressure Diary or Blood Pressure
Pass, visit www.omron-healthcare.com.
ECG recording tips to help ensure an accurate recording:
• Clean the 4 electrodes with alcohol-based sanitizer. Refer to sub-section 12.3.
• Disconnect headphones, charger cables, or any other connected devices from your smartphone.
• We recommend taking resting heart rate ECGs when you first rise in the morning; the time of day when the body is most
rested.
Caution
• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a blood pressure
measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a blood pressure measurement.
