Carrying out a measurement

Before the measurement:

Avoid eating, smoking, and all forms of exertion directly
before performing the measurement. All these factors
influence the measurement results.

Relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmosphere for
about 10 minutes before the measurement.

Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.

Always measure on the same arm (preferably left).

Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the
same time of day, since blood pressure changes during the
course of the day.
