2.4 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
•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 Pass to keep records of several readings 
over a certain period of time. You may also download the PDF files 
of the pass by visiting www.omron-healthcare.com.
• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating 
for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
