Q Why are measured blood pressure values different each time I take a measurement? A ® Blood pressure changes even within a single day, and it is different depending on the measurement posture. Because of this, when taking measurements, be sure to always take measurements under the same conditions. 0 For persons taking blood pressure medication, blood pressure may change greatly due to the effects of the medication. ® When taking 2 measurements in succession, be sure to stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the first measurement before taking the next measurement. Q Why are the measured values different for the left and right arm? A LI It is said that differences in blood pressure values between the left and right arms may be around 10mmHg. The blood pressure can be measured in either the left or right arm, but all measurements should be taken using the same arm. Q Even though the arm was moved, the body movement indicator light did not come on. A The body movement indicator function tells you that the elbow was bent or that excess pressure was applied to the pressure cuff. Because of this, if the movement resulted in no effect on the pressure cuff (such as lightly twisting your arm, bending your wrist, etc.), the indicator will not come on. If you still feel concerned about it, please take another measurement. Q When the body movement indicator lamp became blinked, I returned my arm to the correct measurement position, but the measured value was higher than it always has been. A The body movement indicator lamp is intended as only a measurement method indicator. If you returned to the correct posture after the body movement indicator lamp became lit but the measured blood pressure is higher or lower than normal, please take another measurement. The following possible causes can also be considered: • Are measurements being taken properly (how cuff is wrapped, measurement posture, etc.)? Refer to pages 12 and 13 when taking measurements. • Were measurements taken immediately after smoking? • Were measurements taken when you were feeling irritated? • Were measurements taken in a cold environment? • Are you a person who has low pulse changes? • If you feel concerned about it, please wait 4 to 5 minutes and then take another measurement. 25 26

Q
Why
are
measured
blood
pressure
values
different
each
time
take
a
measurement?
A
®
Blood
pressure
changes
even
within
a
single
day,
and
it
is
different
depending
on
the
measurement
posture.
Because
of
this,
when
taking
measurements,
be
sure
to
always
take
measurements
under
the
same
conditions.
0
For
persons
taking
blood
pressure
medication,
blood
pressure
may
change
greatly
due
to
the
effects
of
the
medication.
®
When
taking
2
measurements
in
succession,
be
sure
to
stay
quiet
for
4
to
5
minutes
after
the
first
measurement
before
taking
the
next
measurement.
Q
Why
are
the
measured
values
different
for
the
left
and
right
arm?
A
LI
It
is
said
that
differences
in
blood
pressure
values
between
the
left
and
right
arms
may
be
around
10mmHg.
The
blood
pressure
can
be
measured
in
either
the
left
or
right
arm,
but
all
measurements
should
be
taken
using
the
same
arm.
Q
Even
though
the
arm
was
moved,
the
body
movement
indicator
light
did
not
come
on.
A
The
body
movement
indicator
function
tells
you
that
the
elbow
was
bent
or
that
excess
pressure
was
applied
to
the
pressure
cuff.
Because
of
this,
if
the
movement
resulted
in
no
effect
on
the
pressure
cuff
(such
as
lightly
twisting
your
arm,
bending
your
wrist,
etc.),
the
indicator
will
not
come
on.
If
you
still
feel
concerned
about
it,
please
take
another
measurement.
Q
A
When
the
body
movement
indicator
lamp
became
blinked,
returned
my
arm
to
the
correct
measurement
position,
but
the
measured
value
was
higher
than
it
always
has
been.
The
body
movement
indicator
lamp
is
intended
as
only
a
measurement
method
indicator.
If
you
returned
to
the
correct
posture
after
the
body
movement
indicator
lamp
became
lit
but
the
measured
blood
pressure
is
higher
or
lower
than
normal,
please
take
another
measurement.
The
following
possible
causes
can
also
be
considered:
•
Are
measurements
being
taken
properly (how
cuff
is
wrapped,
measurement
posture,
etc.)?
Refer
to
pages
12
and
13
when
taking
measurements.
•
Were
measurements
taken
immediately
after
smoking?
•
Were
measurements
taken
when
you
were
feeling
irritated?
•
Were
measurements
taken
in
a
cold
environment?
•
Are
you
a
person
who
has
low
pulse
changes?
•
If
you
feel
concerned
about
it,
please
wait
4
to
5
minutes
and
then
take
another
measurement.
