Tips for Accurate and Reliable Measurements
1. Consistent Monitoring & Preparation:
- Measure twice daily (morning and evening) at the same time each day.
- Rest for 5 minutes before measuring. Wait 30 minutes after eating, smoking, drinking, or exercising.
- Avoid stress and allow 5 minutes between repeated measurements. Repeat if results seem unusual.
- NB: Keep the device away from strong electromagnetic fields (like mobile phones) while in use.
2. Proper Cuff Placement:
- Use the arm with historically higher BP readings, and always use that same arm.
- Position the included cuff 2-3 cm above the elbow, directly over the artery.
- Ensure tight clothing does not restrict blood flow. Use only genuine Beurer cuffs.
3. Correct Posture:
- Sit upright with your back supported and rest your arm on a solid surface.
- The cuff must be at heart level for an accurate reading.
- Keep your feet flat, remain still, and avoid talking during the measurement.

- The monitor must be at room temperature when measuring.
- This device is clinically tested for accuracy but may be less reliable for users with persistent arrhythmias or certain mental health conditions (e.g., chronic stress/anxiety). Always consult your healthcare provider.
- Not suitable for use with pacemakers, metal implants, or following mastectomy/lymph node clearance.
