Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home or at a professional healthcare clinic? A: Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a more accurate account as they better reflect your daily life. Readings can be elevated when taken in a clinical or medical environment. This is known as White Coat Hypertension and may be caused by feeling anxious or nervous. Note: Abnormal test results may be caused by: 1. Improper cuff placement Make sure cuff is snug-not too tight or too loose. Make sure bottom of the cuff is approximately 1-2cm (1/2'') above the elbow joint. 2. Improper body position Make sure to keep your body in an upright position. 3. Feeling anxious or nervous Take 2-3 deep breaths, wait a few minutes and resume testing. Q: What causes different readings? A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day. Many factors including diet, stress, cuff placement, etc. may affect an individual's blood pressure. Q: Should I apply the cuff to the left or right arm? What is the difference? A: Either arm can be used when testing, however, when comparing results, the same arm should be used. Testing on your left arm may provide more accurate results as it is located closer to your heart. Q: What is the best time of day for testing? A: Morning time or any time you feel relaxed and stress free. Why do my blood pressure readings seem to vary? There are several reasons why you may have inconsistent readings. Many factors exist that can cause a variation in blood pressure measurement values, for example, recent activities or even the time of day can alter the reading. Additionally, the user's technique is very important for reliable measurement results. Listed below are some of the common reasons you may see an inconsistent or inaccurate reading: Cuff Size： It is very important to use the appropriate size cuff for your arm to obtain accurate measurement results when using your blood pressure monitor. In order to determine the appropriate cuff size, you need to measure the circumference of your arm. You should periodically measure your arm size. This is especially true if you have a borderline arm size measurement, or you may have gained or lost weight. It is important to ensure the arm cuff you are using with your monitor is the correct size for you. If the incorrect cuff is used, the result may be an inaccurate reading and/or the cuff will be damaged (air bladder). To determine your arm size, use a cloth tape measure and place the tape measure midway between your elbow and your shoulder around the circumference of your upper arm. Wrap the tape measure evenly around your arm. Do not pull the tape tight. Note the precise measurement in centimetres. Cuff Application 1. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be about 1 – 2 cm above your elbow (thickness of your index or middle finger). Adjust the cuff around your arm so that the tubing runs down the centre of your arm in line with your middle finger. 2. Secure the cuff around your arm using the cloth closure. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm. 3. Secure the cuff firmly but not too tight– just enough so that it is difficult to slide 2 fingers under the cuff. This space is imperative for an accurate reading because this digital Blood Pressure Monitors use the Oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement that detects your blood's movement through your brachial artery and converts this movement into a digital reading.
