IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON BLOOD
PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT
What Is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure
that your blood extends to the
vascular walls. Blood pressure
is necessary to provide for
constant blood ow inside the
body. Thanks to it the cells get
oxygen that provides for their
normal functioning. The heart
performs the function of a
«pump», sending blood to the
blood vessels. Each heart beat
creates a certain level of the
blood pressure.
There are 2 kinds of blood pressure: a systolic (upper) one, which corresponds
to the heartbeat pushing blood into the arteriae; and a diastolic (lower) one,
which means the blood pressure between two heartbeats.
Blood pressure is subject to uctuations during the day even in healthy people.
The uctuations are inuenced by a number of factors - time of day, person’s
condition, physical or mental activity, environment, etc.

Day-Night Fluctuations of the Blood Pressure
An increase of blood pressure increases the burden onto the heart, affects blood
vessels making their walls thick and less elastic.
One of the features of the hypertension is its ability to remain unnoticed
for the patient at its early stages. That’s why the selfcontrol of the blood
pressure is so important. With the illness progressing, headaches and regular
dizziness appear, the sight declines, the functioning of vitalses (encephalon,
heart, kidneys, blood vessels) breaks down. Without special treatment the
complications of hypertension might be kidney damages, breast-pang, paralytic
stroke, aphasia, dementia, heart attack and stroke.
Which Values are Normal?
Monitoring your routine blood pressure trend helps you to know your body
condition. Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle age.
This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood vessels. Further
causes include obesity, lack of exercise and cholesterol (LDL) adhering to the
blood vessels, diabetes. Rising blood pressure accelerates hardening of the
arteries, and the body becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and coronary
infarction.

diology Task Force Members. 2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Man-

• The diagnosis of hypertension requires from the patient to combine medical
treatment prescribed by the doctor and mode of life correction.
• People with normal pressure and high normal pressure are recommended
to carry out self-control of their tension in order to timely take measures to
decrease the blood pressure level down to the optimal one without using
any medications.
• For people more than 50 years old high level of systolic blood pressure
(higher than 140 mmHg) is more crucial than diastolic pressure.
• Even with blood pressure being normal, people run the bigger risk of hyper-
tension development with advancing age.
ATTENTION
If you have normal results of blood pressure measured under calm conditions
but your results are excessively high when measured under the conditions of
physical or mental exhaustion, this might be a sign of so called brittle (that is
unstable) hypertension. If you suspect that, please consult your doctor.
When
measured correctly, if diastolic blood pressure is more than 120 mmHg, it is
necessary to call the doctor immediately.

Irregular Heartbeat Detection
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol of IHD appears
on the display that means that certain abnormality in heart beat frequency was
detected during the measurement.
In this case, the result may deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat
the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However,
if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor. Please show your
doctor the following explanation:
10
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector.
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also analyses
pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested. The
symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse irregularities occur during
measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per
week on measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to seek
medical advice. The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but
serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Fuzzy Logic Measuring Technology
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the
cuff starts inating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent
to the air pressure. This unit will determine the appropriate ination level based
on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deation.
During the deation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the
pressure oscillations and thereby determine for you the systolic blood pressure,
diastolic blood pressure, and pulse.
GETTING READY FOR MEASUREMENT

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
ATTENTION
• Find time to relax by sitting in a quiet atmosphere for some time before
measurement.
• Efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase the blood pressure.
Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not activate any
muscles in the arm during measurement.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Remove any garment that ts closely to your upper arm. Do not roll the
sleeve since it can squeeze your hand and this can lead to false results.
• Use only clinically approved original cuff.
• If you want to follow the results of your blood pressure measurements, al-
ways perform measurements at the same time of day, since blood pressure
changes during the course of the day.
• Measurements should be done after a 5 minute rest to ensure accuracy.
Fitting the Cuff
a. Remove all eventual objects (e.g. wristwatch) from the wrist. Wrap the cuff
over the wrist.
b. The distance between the cuff and the hand should be as close as possible.
c. Secure the cuff with the Velcro fastener, so that it lies comfortably and not
too tight, no space should remain between the cuff and the wrist.
d. Lay the wrist on a table, with the palm upwards. Support the wrist a little
with a rest (cushion), so that the cuff rests at about the same height as the
heart. Remain so for 2 minutes sitting quietly, before beginning with the
measurement.
Taking a Single Measurement
ATTENTION
1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of your heart.
3. Measure always on the same wrist (normally left).
EN
15
4. Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.
WARNING: If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the obtained
blood pressure value could be higher (lower) than the actual value. Always apply
the pressure cuff before turning on the monitor.
1. Fasten the wrist cuff according to the instructions in “ATTACHING THE
WRIST CUFF.”
2. Press the “ON/OFF” button. All icons appear two seconds on DISPLAY, then
