- You should therefore avoid taking measurements during stressful periods.
- Do not take a measurement within 30 minutes of eating, drinking, smoking or exercising.
- Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure always to rest for about 5 minutes.
- Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute between the individual measurements.
- Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the measured value.
Cleaning and maintenance
- Clean the device and cuff carefully using a slightly damp cloth only.
- Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents.
- Under no circumstances hold the device and cuff under water, as this can cause liquid to enter and damage the device and cuff.
