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.
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
diseases.Therefore,bloodpressuremonitoringis
importantforidentifyingthoseatrisk.

USING THE ARM CUFF
Very Important: Proper cuff size is critical to accurate
measurement.
This monitor comes with a Standard Size arm cuff that
fits arms with circumferences of 9”–13” (23 cm – 33 cm).
This cuff is suitable for your use if the colored arrow
falls within the solid color line as shown below.
If the arrow falls outside of the solid color line, you
will need a cuff with another circumference. Contact
HoMedics Consumer Relations at 1-800-466-3342.
