A blood pressure monitor records your blood pressure at intervals throughout the day and night.
The monitor automatically inflates every 20 minutes until 10pm, then every hour until 6am the following day and then again every 20 minutes until the monitor is removed.
When the cuff begins to inflate you are required to keep your arm relaxed and still down by your side until the cuff deflates. The cuff will feel very tight as the pressure rises. During the recording you will need to list the time that the cuff inflates and your activity at that time.
Please allow 7 working days before making an appointment with your doctor or notify the technician if you have an appointment within the 7 days.
The technician will also specify what time the monitor needs to be returned and where. It is important to return the monitor at this time as the data must be downloaded and the monitor prepared for the next patient.
