Braun VitalScan Plus is a blood pressure monitor that has been developed for easy
and accurate blood pressure measurements from the wrist. The measuring accuracy
of Braun VitalScan Plus was tested at the time of manufacture and was proven by
clinical research in accordance with AAMI/ANSI-SP10.
What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early
morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the
afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period
of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fluctuate.
Blood pressure readings from a healthy 31-year old male, measured at 5-minute
intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a momentary value.
Repeated measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood pressure values
under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at home,
because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor's office.
Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor with
valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual «everyday»
conditions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood
pressure values when measured at resting pulse.
