ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while

blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the

heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest)

blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with

blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood

pressure. Both the systolic and diastolic pressure are necessary for

a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?

Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high

blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously

correlates with cardiovascular disease. Therefore, blood pressure

monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

Why Do My Readings Vary?

Blood pressure is a body parameter that is subject to normal

variations throughout the day. A single reading that is different from

yours or your doctor’s readings are not necessarily inaccurate. The

average of several readings, taken under similar conditions, using

the same wrist, is preferred for accurate blood pressure readings.

Why Are My Readings Different Than Those Taken at My

Doctor’s Office?

Many experience a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension”

when measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to

blood pressure that rises above its usual level when measured in

a clinical setting, such as a doctor’s office.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

This table contains defined levels for hypertension that are publicly

available from the American Heart Association

®

(AHA 2017). Users

can compare their own blood pressure readings against these

defined levels to determine if there is a potential increased risk.

This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.

Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally

don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay above the normal range

most of the time, you may be at an increased risk and should consult

your physician.

Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings

fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category

Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels

and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages

that could potentially indicate increased risk. See Risk Category Index

section for more information on this feature.

Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to

assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided

for convenience to help you understand your noninvasive blood

pressure reading as it relates to the American Heart Association

®

information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by

your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician

regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure

range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered

to be at risk.

up as shown in Fig. A.

3. Make sure the edge of the cuff is about

1/4"–1/2" (1cm–1.5cm) from the palm

as shown in Fig. B.

4. In order to ensure accurate

measurements, fasten the hook and

loop strap securely around your wrist

so there is no extra space between

the cuff and the wrist. If the cuff

is not wrapped tight enough, the

measurement values will not

be accurate.

5. If your physician has diagnosed you

with poor circulation in your left arm,

place the cuff around your right wrist

as shown in Fig. C.

NOTE:

• This device should not be used when

your wrist is wounded or injured.

• If it is not possible to use the cuff on

your left wrist, it can also be used

on your right wrist. However, all

measurements should be made

using the same wrist.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE

MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses innovative GentleInflate

®

technology to measure

your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the monitor

automatically takes the reading during inflation, then deflates,

delivering a quick, comfortable, and quiet measurement every time.

Please note that any muscle movement during inflation will cause

measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor

will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse

readings.

The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results fall

on the American Heart Association

®

(AHA 2017) table and provides

a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could

potentially indicate increased risk. Please refer to Risk Category

Index section for more information on this feature.

The appearance of the

icon indicates that a pulse irregularity

consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during

measurement. Refer to Irregular Heartbeat Detector section for more

information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
