Blood Pressure Monitoring
Suggested Use
- Preparation:Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit with your back straight and feet flat on the floor. Rest for at least five minutes before taking a reading to ensure accurate results.
- Positioning:Place your arm on a flat, steady surface with your palm facing upwards. Wrap the cuff snugly around your upper arm, about one inch above your elbow. Ensure it’s not too tight.
- Measurement:Turn on the monitor and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Press the start button and stay relaxed, avoiding any movement or talking during the measurement.
- Recording:Write down the reading as soon as possible. Keep a log of your blood pressure readings to understand trends and share with your doctor.
- Date and Time Setting:To ensure accurate measuring time, preset the date and time correctly before using the device for the first time. If you want to change the date and time, please repeat the setting procedure.

Warning
Your blood pressure reading will show a top number and a bottom number. The top number is your systolic blood pressure, the highest level your blood pressure reaches when your heart beats and pumps blood around your body. The bottom number is your diastolic blood pressure, the lowest level your blood pressure reaches as your heart relaxes between each beat. Your reading will be measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) – the ideal blood pressure reading is between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
- Measure one hour after smoking or drinking alcohol/coffee.
- Do not move or talk during measurement, as this will affect the accuracy.
- If you have any health concerns, consult a healthcare professional for advice.
- Always read the instruction manual carefully before using the blood pressure monitor.
- Measure at least one hour after eating and avoid measuring immediately after bathing.
- If you suffer from atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, you may get an inaccurate reading.
