ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the force generated by the bloodagainst the walls of arteries during cardiac contractionand relaxation(e.g., the pumping action of the heart).

What are systolic pressure and diastolicpressure?When ventricles contract and pump blood out of theheart, blood pressure reaches its maximum value. Thishighest pressure in the cycle is known as systolicpressure. 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 averagepressure that forces blood through the arteries. It isnot the average of the systolic and diastolic bloodpressure; rather, MAP corresponds to a state ofbalance between the compressive and expansiveforces acting on the arterial wall when there is nodistension outward or inward. MAP is an excellentway to evaluate the stress on the walls of your bloodvessels, and can be used to evaluate excessive loadon the cardiovascular system. Show your MAP historyto your doctor to provide additional information thatmay help him or her understand your situation.

Why measure your blood pressure?

Blood pressure measurement can highly reflect one'shealth condition. High blood pressure is potentiallylinked to serious illnesses such as stroke, heartdisease and kidney failure.

Since there is no symptom most of the time, manyhypertensive people do not realize they are at riskuntil their health is seriously threatened.

What is the standard blood pressure classification?

Figure 3 illustrates the blood pressure classificationmade by World Health Organization (WHO) andInternational Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999.

Reference material: 1999 World Health Organization-

International Society of Hypertension Guidelines forthe management of hypertension, Journal ofHypertension, 1999, 17(2): 151-183.

NOTE• Blood pressure is considered high when either the

diastolic or systolic blood pressure value exceedsthe normal range. When a patient’s systolic anddiastolic blood pressures fall into differentcategories, the higher category should apply.

• Only a physician can tell you your normal bloodpressure range and the point at which you are atrisk. Consult your physician to obtain these values.If the measurements taken with these products falloutside the range, consult your physician.

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughoutthe day?

Individual blood pressure varies greatly both on adaily and a seasonal or temperature basis. Thesevariations may be more pronounced in hypertensivepatients. Normally the blood pressure rises while atwork and is at its lowest during sleep.

The graph below illustrates the variations over asingle day with measurement taken every 5 minutes.The thick line represents sleep time. The rises inblood pressure at 4PM (A in the graph) and 12AM (Bin the graph) correspond to an attack of pain andsexual intercourse (Beven, Honour & Stott, Clin. Sci.36:329, 1969).

HOW THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORWORKS

This product uses the Oscillometric Measuringmethod to detect your blood pressure. Before everymeasurement, the unit establishes a "zero pressure"equivalent to the air pressure.

Then it starts inflating the wrist cuff to 180mmHg orhigher until it senses that it has blocked your blood inthe artery. After that, the deflation process starts,during which time the unit detects pressureoscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, whichis used to determine the systolic, mean and diastolicpressure, and also your pulse rate. Any motion duringthis period will result in an incorrect measurement.After all readings are determined and displayed on theLCD, the measurement is finished and the wrist cuffautomatically deflates.

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 batterytype (2 alkaline LR03 AAA-size).

3. Replace the cover.

NOTE Replace the batteries whenever the weakbattery mark shows, the display is dim, or thedisplay does not illuminate when the power is on.Replace all the batteries at the same time - it isdangerous to mix old and new batteries.

Contact your local waste disposal authority forinstructions on how to dispose of used batteries. Usedbatteries can be harmful to the environment, andshould not be thrown out with household trash.

4. Press SET to accept the change and switch to thenext setting.

5. When you are finished, press to exit the setup menu.

POSITIONING THE WRIST CUFF

It is important to properly position the wrist cuff toensure that you receive an accurate reading.

1. Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc.) fromyour left wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you withpoor 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 extraroom between the cuff and your skin. If the cuff is tooloose, the measurement will not be accurate.
