Instructions for use

• Make sure to follow the following instructions before applying blood pressure:

1. Stop any exercise 30 minutes before the measurement.
2. Do not drink any caffeinated drinks or smoke 30 minutes before the measurement.
3. Empty your bladder of urine.
4. Take a 5-minute rest period before measuring, keep your back straight, remove any tight clothing from the measurement area, and do not keep your feet intertwined.
5. Do not talk during the measurement or during rest time.
6. Measure twice, with an interval of two minutes, then take the average of the two measurements.

• To get accurate results, follow these steps:

1. Before measuring your blood pressure, you must get enough rest and not suffer from any stress or anxiety before measuring your blood pressure
2. Your feet should be on the floor and you should sit upright on a chair with your back against the back of the chair.
3. Place your arm on the table and just make sure that your hand and arm are relaxed on the table. It is important not to close your fist too tightly when measuring blood pressure.
4. Make sure you can place two fingers under the armband when placing it on your upper arm, and then adjust it so that the tube extends to the middle or slightly to the right of your arm
5. When you check your blood pressure, don't talk and just relax. Press the device's power button, then press the start button.
6. You will feel the cuff inflate very quickly. The position may be temporarily uncomfortable as the cuff automatically inflates and deflates, but this will only be for a short time. You can deflate the belt quickly by pressing the “Stop” button if it becomes too painful or uncomfortable.
7. Write down the reading as soon as you receive it. These days, many blood pressure monitors have internal memory.
8. After a few minutes of measuring your blood pressure, it is a good idea to check it again to make sure the readings are similar and accurate.
9. If your doctor or pharmacist tells you to check your blood pressure, do so twice daily, in the morning and evening, and then schedule a follow-up consultation with the results.
