1. Important Facts about Blood Pressure and Self-

Measurement

Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing in the

arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the

systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are

always measured.

Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your

health and must be treated by your doctor!

Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if

you have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely

on single blood pressure readings.

There are many causes of excessively high blood pressure

values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer

treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, relaxation

techniques, weight loss and exercise can also lower your blood

pressure.

Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of

drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting your

doctor.

Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure

is subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You

should therefore take your measurements in the same

quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least

two measurements per day, one in the morning and one in the

evening.

It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-

sion to produce significantly different results.

Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in

the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as

these situations are completely different.

Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than

just one single measurement.

Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two

measurements.

If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure

regularly as it can change drastically during this time.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.

Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of

130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».

2. Using the Device for the First Time

Using the correct cuff

When choosing the correct size cuff the arm circumference should

be measured at the centre of the upper arm. 25 - 40 cm (9.8 - 15.7

inches) should be the correct size for the majority of people.

Only use Microlife cuffs.



Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 2 does

not fit.

3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the

measurement.

2. Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes.

Keep the feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.

3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left).

4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid

constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not

interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.

accordance with the international Guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH).
