ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the force generated by the blood against the

walls of arteries during cardiac contraction and relaxation

(e.g., the pumping action of the heart).

What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?

When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart,

blood pressure reaches its maximum value. This highest

pressure in the cycle is known as systolic pressure. When

the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest blood

pressure is diastolic pressure.

What is mean arterial pressure (MAP)?

The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average

pressure that forces blood through

the arteries. It is not

the average of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure;

rather, MAP corresponds to a state of balance between the

compressive and expansive forces acting on the arterial

wall when there is no distension outward or inward. MAP is

an excellent way to evaluate the stress on the walls of your

blood vessels, and can be used to evaluate excessive load

on the cardiovascular system. Show your MAP history to

your doctor to provide additional information that may help

him or her understand your situation.

Why measure your blood pressure?

Blood pressure measurement can highly refl ect one’s

health condition. High blood pressure is potentially linked

to serious illnesses such as stroke, heart disease and

kidney failure.

Since there is no symptom most of the time, many

hypertensive people do not realize they are at risk until

their health is seriously threatened.

What is the standard blood pressure classifi cation?

Figure 3 illustrates the blood Pressure classifi cation made

by World Health Organization (WHO) and International

Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999.

Reference material: 1999 World Health Organization-

International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the

management of hypertension, Journal of Hypertension,

1999, 17(2): 151-183.

NOTE

• Blood pressure is considered high when either the

diastolic or systolic blood pressure value exceeds the

normal range. When a patient’s systolic and diastolic

blood pressures fall into different categories, the

higher category should apply.

• Only a physician can tell you your

normal blood

pressure range and the point at which you are at risk.

Why does my blood pressure fl uctuate throughout the day?

Individual blood pressure varies greatly both on a daily and

a seasonal or temperature basis. These variations may be

more pronounced in hypertensive patients. Normally the

blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest

during sleep.

The graph below illustrates the variations over a single day

with measurement taken every 5 minutes. The thick line

represents sleep time. The rises in blood pressure at 4PM

(A in the graph) and 12AM (Bin the graph) correspond to

an attack of pain and sexual intercourse (Beven, Honour &

Stott, Clin. Sci. 36:329, 1969).

HOW THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS

This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to

detect your blood pressure. Before every measurement,

the unit establishes a “zero pressure”equivalent to the air

pressure.

Then it starts infl ating the wrist cuff to 180mmHg or higher

until it senses that it has blocked your blood in the artery.

After that, the defl ation process starts, during which time

the unit detects pressure oscillations generated by beat-

to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine the systolic,

mean and diastolic pressure, and also your pulse rate.

Any motion during this period will result in an incorrect

measurement. After all readings are determined and

displayed on the LCD, the measurement is fi nished

and

the wrist cuff automatically defl ates.

GETTING STARTED

INSTALLING AND REPLACING THE BATTERIES

1. Slide off the battery cover.

2. Install the batteries by matching the correct polarity, as

shown below. Always use the correct battery type (2

alkaline LR03 AAA-size).

3. Replace the cover.

NOTE Replace the batteries whenever the weak battery

mark

shows, the display is dim, or the display does not

illuminate when the power is on. Replace all the batteries

at the same time - it is dangerous to mix old and new

batteries.

Contact your local waste disposal authority for instructions

on how to dispose of used batteries. Used batteries can be

harmful to the environment, and should not be thrown out

with household trash.

POSITIONING THE WRIST CUFF

It is important to properly position the wrist cuff to ensure

that you receive an accurate reading.

1. Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc.) from

your left wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with

poor circulation in your left arm, use your right wrist.

2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.

3. Apply the cuff to your left wrist with your palm facing up.

4. Position the edge of the cuff about 0.4 inches (1cm)

from the bottom of your palm.

5. Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no

extra room between the cuff and your skin. If the cuff

is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate.

NOTE Graphics may not exactly match product.

TAKING A BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

You can choose to take your blood pressure while sitting or lying

down. Below are some helpful tips for taking a measurement:

• Be sure to set the clock before taking your fi rst

measurement, or whenever you replace the batteries,

so that the date and time are stored in the memory

with your history. For instructions, refer to "Setting date,

time and measurement units" section.

• It is important to relax when taking your blood pressure.

Try to take a 15-minute rest before you begin.

• Do not lean backward or bend your wrist inward while

taking a measurement.

• Avoid talking or moving your fi ngers and hand while

taking a measurement. Rapid movements or other
