How to use a home blood pressure monitor
Be still.
Don t smoke, drink caffeinated beverages or exercise within 30 minutes before measuring your blood pressure. Ensure at least 5 minutes of quiet rest before measurements.
Sit correctly.
Sit with your back straight and supported (on a dining chair, rather than a sofa). Your feet should be flat on the floor and your legs should not be crossed. Your arm should be supported on a flat surface (such as a table) with the upper arm at heart level. Make sure the middle of the cuff is placed directly above the bend of the elbow. Check your monitor s instructions for an illustration or have your healthcare provider show you how.
Measure at the same time every day.
It s important to take the readings at the same time each day, such as morning and evening. It is best to take the readings daily however ideally beginning 2 weeks after a change in treatment and during the week before your next appointment.
Take multiple readings and record the results.
Each time you measure, take two or three readings one minute apart and record the results using a printable or online tracker. Our blood pressure monitor has built-in memory to store your readings, take it with you to your appointments.
