Q Why are measured blood pressure values different each time I take
a measurement?
0 Blood pressure changes even within a singie
day, and it is different depending on the
measurement posture. Because of this,
when taking measurements, be sure to
aiways take measurements under the same
conditions.
® For persons taking biood pressure
medication, biood pressure may change
greatly due to the effects of the medication.
® When taking 2 measurements in succession,
be sure to stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after
the first measurement before taking the next
measurement.
Q Why are the measured values different for the left and right arm?
It is said that differences in blood pressure
values between the left and right arms may
be around lOmmHg. The blood pressure can
be measured in either the left or right arm,
but all measurements should be taken using
the same arm.
Q Even though the arm was moved, the body movement indicator
light did not come on.
^ The body movement indicator function tells you that the elbow
was bent or that excess pressure was applied to the pressure cuff.
Because of this, if the movement resulted in no effect on the pressure
cuff (such as lightly twisting your arm, bending your wrist, etc.), the
indicator will not come on. If you still feel concerned about it, please
take another measurement.
Q When the body movement indicator lamp became blinked, I
returned my arm to the correct measurement position, but the
measured value was higher than it always has been.
^ The body movement indicator lamp is intended as only a
measurement method indicator.
If you returned to the correct posture after the body movement indicator
lamp became lit but the measured blood pressure is higher or lower
than normal, please take another measurement.
The following possible causes can also be considered:
• Are measurements being taken properly (how cuff is wrapped,
measurement posture, etc.)? Refer to pages 12 and 13 when taking
measurements.
• Were measurements taken immediately after smoking?
• Were measurements taken when you were feeling irritated?
• Were measurements taken in a cold environment?
• Are you a person who has low pulse changes?
• If you feel concerned about it, please wait 4 to 5 minutes and then
take another measurement.
