Precautions for measuring the blood pressure
•
Avoid consuming alcohol, food that includes caffeine, smoking, exercising, and
taking a bath 30 minutes before measuring your blood pressure.
•
Make sure your wrist is dry when measuring your blood pressure and do not measure
it when you have applied lotion or are sweating excessively.
•
Do not take a deep breathe or breathe slowly on purpose, but breath as usual while
measuring your blood pressure.
•
If you are pregnant, your results may not be accurate when you measure your blood
pressure.
•
Do not measure your blood pressure with the Samsung Health Monitor app if you
have any of the following conditions:
–
Arrhythmia
–
Underlying heart disease or have suffered a heart attack
–
Circulatory or peripheral vascular disease
–
Valvular heart disease (Aortic valve disease)
–
Myocardiopathy
–
Other cardiovascular disease
–
End-stage renal disease (ESRD)
–
Diabetes
–
Neurotic disorders (e.g. shivering)
–
Hemostatic disorders or if you are taking a blood thinner
•
Do not use a wrist that has been tattooed or has marks on it when measuring your
blood pressure because the optical heart rate sensor may be affected by the tattoos
or marks.
•
The Samsung Health Monitor app calibrates and measures blood pressure based on
the readings from the arm that is wearing the blood pressure manometer. You must
consult your physician if there is a large difference between the blood pressure in
both of your arms (more than 10 mmHg).
