3. ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
3.1. What is Blood Pr ssur ?
Simply put, arterial bloo pressure is the force of bloo exerte against the walls of
the arteries. There are two components to bloo pressure — systolic an iastolic
pressure. Systolic, the higher pressure, occurs uring contraction of the heart.
Diastolic, the lower pressure, occurs when the heart is at "rest."
Your level of bloo pressure is etermine in the circulatory center of the brain
an a justs to a variety of situations through fee back from the nervous system.
To a just bloo pressure, the strength an frequency of the heart (Pulse), as well
as the wi th of circulatory bloo vessels is altere . Bloo vessel wi th is affecte
by fine muscles in the bloo vessel walls. Bloo pressure is tra itionally measure
in millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
It is recor e as systolic/ iastolic. For example a systolic of 120 an
iastolic of 80 woul be recor e 120/80.
Bloo pressure is a ynamic vital sign — one that changes constantly
throughout the ay. A person's "resting" bloo pressure is the pressure that
exists first thing in the morning while a person is still at rest an before
consumption of foo or rink.

7
3.2. What is a Normal Blood Pr ssur ?
A systolic pressure of less than 120mmHg an a iastolic pressure of un er
80mmHg are recognize as normal by the Joint National Committee on
Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, an Treatment of High Bloo Pressure,
2003.
NOTE: Bloo pressure oes increase with age, so you must check with
your octor to fin out what is “normal” for you! Even with normal bloo
pressure values, a regular self-check with your bloo pressure monitor is
recommen e . You can etect possible changes in your values early an
react appropriately. If you are un ergoing me ical treatment to control your
bloo pressure, keep a recor of values along with time of ay an ate.
Show these values to your octor. Never use the results of your
measurements to in epen ently alter the rug oses prescribe by your
octor.
3.3. What Influ nc s Blood Pr ssur ?
Bloo pressure is influence by many factors inclu ing age, weight,
physical con itioning, past illness, time of ay, altitu e, activity, an
climate, to name just a few. In general, bloo pressure is lower in the
morning an increases throughout the ay. It is lower in warm weather,
an higher in col weather.
Physical activity can have a significant short term impact on bloo
pressure. Work, exercise, smoking, eating, rinking - even talking,
laughing, or crying will all affect a person's bloo pressure.
Your iet, inclu ing beverages containing caffeine or alcohol, may
affect bloo pressure. Emotional stress can have a ramatic impact on your
bloo pressure.
Even repeate bloo pressure measurements taken without a equate rest
between rea ings will alter your bloo pressure as the vessels in your arm
engorge with bloo . Many of these influences are only temporary or short
term, though chronic (long term) exposure to some factors may result in
permanently elevate bloo pressure levels.

8
3.4. Do s Blood Pr ssur Vary?
Constantly. An in ivi ual's bloo pressure varies greatly on a aily an seasonal
basis. It changes throughout one's lifetime. It is not uncommon for systolic
pressure to vary by 40mmHg or more throughout the course of a single ay!
While generally not as volatile, iastolic pressure can still vary significantly. In
hypertensive in ivi uals,
variations are even more
pronounce . Normally,
bloo pressure is at its
lowest uring sleep an
rises in the morning an
throughout the ay. The
chart (left) illustrates the
fluctuations that coul
occur in a typical ay.
3.5. What is Hyp rt nsion?
Hypertension (high bloo pressure) is elevate systolic or iastolic levels. In 90
to 95 percent of the iagnose cases, the specific causes are unknown,
although the con ition is often linke with family history, an lifestyle. This is
referre to as essential hypertension. In the remaining cases, high bloo
pressure is a symptom of an un erlying, often treatable con ition, which if
correcte , may normalize bloo pressure. This less common type is known as
secon ary hypertension. Hypertension, if left untreate , may contribute to ki ney
isease, heart attack, stroke, or other ebilitating illnesses. The following
stan ar s for assessment of high bloo pressure in a ults have been establishe
by the Joint National Committee, 2003.
Range Systol c D astol c Precaut on
Class f cat ons Blood Pressure Blood Pressure Measures

(JNC 7 report: Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure / 2003)

Remember, only a physician is qualifie to interpret the rea ings obtaine
from your bloo pressure monitor. No attempt shoul ever be ma e at
self- iagnosis or treatment.
3.6. Can Hyp rt nsion b Controll d?
Although essential hypertension cannot be cure , it can usually be
controlle by altering lifestyle (inclu ing iet), a opting a program of
exercise, stress management an , where necessary, with me ication
un er a octor's supervision.
To help re uce the risk of hypertension, or keep it un er control, the
American Heart Association (AHA) recommen s the following:
Don't smoke•
Re uce salt an fat intake•
Maintain proper weight•
Exercise regularly•
Have regular physical checkups•
3.7. Why M asur Blood Pr ssur at Hom ?
Clinical stu ies have shown improve etection an treatment of
hypertension when regular home bloo pressure monitoring is one
in consultation with a physician.
Bloo pressure measure in a octor's office or hospital setting may
cause anxiety an lea to an elevate rea ing - a con ition referre
to as "white coat hypertension."
Home measurements generally re uce the "outsi e" influences on
bloo pressure rea ings, an can provi e a more comprehensive an
meaningful bloo pressure history.
Not : While it is important to keep an accurate recor of your bloo pressure
measurements, on't be overly concerne by the results of any one
measurement. In ivi ual results may be influence by spiking of your pressure
ue to iet, anxiety, or mis-measurement resulting from excessive arm
movement, or misapplication of the cuff. Many rea ings taken at the same time
each ay give a more comprehensive bloo pressure history.

10
Always be sure to note the ate an time when recor ing bloo pressure
an pulse measurements. For best results, an with time permitting, 3
successive measurements may be taken aily. Make sure to allow at least
5 minute intervals between measurements. Discar any rea ing that
appears suspect an recor the average of the remaining rea ings.
3.8. How is Blood Pr ssur M asur d?
Healthcare professionals tra itionally use a evice known as a
sphygmomanometer along with a stethoscope - essentially a professional
version of the very same instrument you have purchase . The
sphygmomanometer is a system consisting of an inflatable bla er containe
within a cuff, inflation bulb with air control valve, an pressure measuring
manometer (gauge). The gauge may be mechanical or mercurial. The cuff is
wrappe aroun the limb an inflate to constrict bloo flow to the artery. As
pressure is release from the cuff through the eflation valve, bloo flow
returns to the artery pro ucing pulse beats known as Korotkoff soun s, which
are etecte with the stethoscope. Systolic pressure is recor e at the onset
of these soun s. Diastolic pressure is generally recor e when the soun s
isappear (when bloo flow to the artery returns to normal).
3.9. How should I r cord my blood pr ssur ?
Recor your bloo pressure by setting up a simple chart in a spiral-boun
notebook as shown below, or use the inclu e recor book.
Dat Tim R ading Puls
4/24 7:50AM 128/83 72

4/26 7:45AM 130/75 71
4/27 2:00PM 153/89 80
If you like you can a a column for comments about your con ition at the time of
measurement, or a listing of any factors that may have influence your rea ings
(such as "ha a col ", or "just returne from vacation").
For best results, an with time permitting, 3 successive measurements

11
may be taken aily. Make sure to allow at least 5 minute intervals
between measurements. Discar any rea ing that appears suspect an
recor the average of the remaining rea ings. If this metho is use , be
sure to note that the rea ings are average .

Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
6. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
6.1. B for M asur m nt:
Avoi eating an smoking as well as all forms of exertion irectly before•
measurement. These factors influence the measurement result. Fin time
to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmosphere for about ten
minutes before taking a measurement.
Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.•
Always measure on the same arm (normally left).•
Always compare measurements taken at the same time of ay, since bloo•
pressure changes uring the course of the ay, as much as 20-40 mmHg.
6.2. Common Sourc s of Error:
NOTE: Comparable bloo pressure measurements always require the same
con itions! Con itions shoul always be quiet.
All efforts by the user to support the arm can increase bloo pressure.•
Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxe position an o not flex any of
the muscles in the measurement arm uring the measurement. Use a
cushion for support if necessary.
If the arm artery lies consi erably lower or higher than the heart, an•
erroneously high or low bloo pressure will be measure ! Each 15cm (6
inch) ifference in height between your heart an the cuff results in a
measurement error of 10 mmHg!
Cuffs that are too narrow or too short result in false measurement values.•
Selecting the correct cuff is extremely important. Cuff size is epen ent
upon the circumference of the arm (measure in the center).
The permissible range is printe on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your

17
The permissible range is printe on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your•
use, please call 1-800-232-2670.
NOTE: Only use approve ADC®cuffs!
A loose cuff or a si eways protru ing air pocket causes false measurement•
values.
With repeate measurements, bloo accumulates in the arm, which can•
lea to false results. Consecutive bloo pressure measurements shoul be
repeate after a 1 minute pause or after your arm has been hel up in or er
to allow the accumulate bloo to flow away. If you eci e to take your
Averaging Mo e measurement again, be sure to wait at least one minute
beforehan .
6.3. Fitting th Rigid Cuff (6023N only)
The cuff is pre-forme for easier use. Remove tight a)
or bulky clothing from your upper arm.
Wrap the cuff aroun your upper left arm.b)
The rubber tube shoul be on the insi e of
your arm exten ing ownwar to your
han . Make certain the cuff lies
approximately 1/2−3/4” (1−2 cm) above the elbow.
Important! The re strip on the e ge of the cuff (Artery
Mark) must lie over the artery which runs own the inner
si e of the arm.
To secure the cuff, wrap it aroun your arm an pressc)
the hook an loop closure together.
There shoul be little free space between your arm)
an the cuff. You shoul be able to fit 2 fingers
between your arm an the cuff. Cuffs that on’t fit
properly result in false measurement values. Measure
your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
Lay your arm on a table (palm upwar ) so the cuff is at thee)
same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinke .
Remain seate quietly for at least two minutes before f)
you begin the measurement.

6.4 Fitting th D-Bar Cuff (6021N, 6022N mod ls)
a) Pass the en of the cuff through the flat metal
ring so that a loop is forme . The hook an loop
closure must be facing outwar .
b) Place the cuff over the left upper arm so that
the tube is closer to your lower arm.
c) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrate . Make certain
that the lower e ge of the cuff lies approximately
3/4” to 1” (2 to 3cm) above the elbow an that the
tube is closer to the inner si e of the arm.
Important! The small re strip (Artery Mark) on the
cuff must lie exactly over the artery which runs own the inner
si e of the arm.
) Tighten the cuff by pulling the en an close
the cuff by affixing the hook an loop closure.
To verify a correct fit, the small white triangle
on the outsi e of the cuff shoul fall between
the 2 range lines.
e) There shoul be little free space between the arm
an the cuff. You shoul be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm an the
cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which oes,
must be remove . Cuffs that on’t fit properly result in false measurement
values. Measure your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
Other size cuffs are available (Page 12).
f) Lay your arm on a table (palm upwar ) so the cuff is at the same height as
your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinke .
g) Remain seate quietly for at least two minutes before you begin the
measurement.
Comm nt: If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be
place on your right arm. However, all measurements shoul be ma e using
the same arm. Comparable bloo pressure measurements always require the
same con itions (Relax for several minutes before taking a measurement).

6.5. M asur m nt Proc dur
After the cuff has been appropriately positione an
connecte to the monitor, the measurement can begin:
Press the «ON/OFF» button. The built-in pump begins to1.
inflate the cuff. In the isplay, the increasing cuff pressure
is continually isplaye .
After a suitable inflation pressure has been reache , the2.
pump stops an the pressure gra ually falls, with cuff
pressures being isplaye . If that inflation pressure is not
sufficient, the monitor automatically re-starts.
When the instrument etects a pulse, the heart symbol in the3.
isplay starts to flash an a beep is hear for every heartbeat.
When the measurement has conclu e , a long beep tone soun s. The4.
systolic, an iastolic bloo pressures an pulse rate now appear in the
isplay.
The appearance of this symbol signifies that an irregular5.
heartbeat was etecte . This in icator is only a caution. It
is important that you be relaxe , remain still an o not talk
uring measurements.
NOTE: We recommen contacting your physician if you see
this in icator frequently. See Section 8 (page 23) for more
information.
The measurement rea ings remain on the isplay until you switch off the6.
