IMPORTANT

•This is not a medical device and is not a substitute for a physician’s care. Individuals with specific health concerns should consult with their physician.

•Relax when taking your blood pressure. Try to take a 15-minute rest before you begin.

•Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while taking a measurement.

•Avoid talking or moving your fingers and hand while taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other activities may alter your reading.
