General Usage Tips for Omron BP Monitors:
- To get accurate readings:
- Rest: Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement
- Position: Sit in a comfortable chair with your back and arm supported also keep your feet flat on the floor and your legs uncrossed
- Cuff Placement: Place the cuff on your bare upper arm at the same level as your heart, with the air tube centered on the inside of your arm
- Remain Still: Do not talk or move during the measurement
- Timing: Take measurements at the same time each day, often recommended in the morning and evening
- Multiple Readings: A single reading doesn't always reflect your true blood pressure so it's best to take and record several readings over a period of time and share these averages with your doctor
