Using Your Blood Pressure Monitor
Your provider has asked that you use this device every day. However, your plan
is individual to you and your health needs. Make sure you write down how often
your provider would like you to record your levels. Taking your daily readings
only requires a few minutes!
NOTE: For measurement readings to be recorded in your Life365 account, the Life365 Health App must be open when a measurement reading is being taken.
MY PERSONAL BLOOD PRESSURE PLAN IS:
- times per day
- number of days
- is my goal level
- You should take more readings if:
- You are short of breath
- You suspect the reading was not accurate or improperly recorded
- Make sure you are relaxed and sitting calmly in a chair with your feet, back and arms supported.
- Don’t smoke, exercise, drink caffeinated or alcohol beverages within 20 minutes of measurement.
- Place the bottom of the cuff above the bend of the elbow.
Now You Are Ready to Start Monitoring!
