1. What is Blood Pressure?
Blood Pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood at right an-
gles to the walls of the blood vessels . The peak pressure in the
arteries during the cardiac cycle is dened as systolic pressure,
whilethelowestpressureisdenedasdiastolicpressure.
Depending on physical exertion and condition , blood pressure is
subjecttowideuctuationsasthedayprogresses(inacircadian
rhythm) . Blood pressure also changes in response to stress, nutri-
tional factors, drugs or disease.
2. What is a Normal Blood Pressure?
A systolic pressure of less than 130mmHg and a diastolic pressure
of under 90mmHg are recognized as normal level by World Health
Organization (WHO) However, individual blood pressure varies .

Thisinstrumentissuppliedwiththestandardcuffwhichistforthe
arm size 22-32 cm. Care should be taken to ensure that the cuff
size is appropriate for the person whose blood pressure is being
taken. This improves the accuracy of the reading. Children and
adults with cuff size fall outside the range 22-32 cm should select
special size cuffs. Please contact the dealer to get these special

5. Take a blood pressure measurement
using this instrument
1) Connect the cuff and gauge as
shown in the illustration.
2) The user should be in a warm envi-
ronment. Tight or restrictive clothing
should be removed from the arm.
Sit down at a table or desk where
you can easily rest your arm. Wrap
the cuff around the naked arm so
the middle of the cuff is over the
brachia! artery pulse. Position the
cuff approximately 2.5cm above the
elbow and slip the top part of the
cuff through the metal bar that is at-
tached to the cuff. Most cuffs have
Velcro, making it easy to keep the
cuff in place.
Make sure the cuff is snug, not be
tootight.Twongersshouldbeeas-
ily put in between cuff and arm. The
cuff should be at about the same
height as your heart. If someone
else is taking your blood pressure,
you may recline .
3) Gently place the stethoscope 's ear
pieces in your ears.
4) Place the head of the stethoscope just below (1-4 in. or 2.5-8
cm) the armpit , near the inside middle side of the arm. It must
notbepressedtoormlyortouchthecuff,orthediastolicpres-
sure may be underestimated.
5) Pump the bulb slowly but steadily until the pressure reaches

about 30 mmHg above your usual systolic pressure. If you have
nevermeasured your bloodpressure, please inatethe pres-
sure to 180 mmHg;
6)Now,stopinationandpushthede-
ation button gently with thumb so
as to get the pressure drop slowly
and steadily at about 2-3 mmHg per
second. Listen and watch the dial
plate carefully during deation, the
point at which repetitive, clear tap-
pingsoundsrstappearforatleast
two consecutive beats gives the
systolic blood pressure. The point
where the repetitive sounds nally
disappear gives the diastolic blood
pressure.
7)Afteryougetthediastolicpressure,pushthedeationbuttonto
theendforrapiddeation;
8) Remove the stethoscope and cuff from arm after the pressure in
the cuff bottoms out;
USEFUL TIPS FOR BLOOD PRESSURE MEASURING
• Wear short sleeves so your arm is exposed or naked.
• Any strenuous activity immediately is prohibited before measure-
ment.
• Rest 5 to 10 minutes before measuring your blood pressure.
• Always measure the same arm (normally left).
• Do not hold the head of the stethoscope with your thumb. The
thumb has a beat of its own, which may interfere with the read-
ing.
• Do measure your blood pressure the same time each day.
• Record the date and time measurement was made.
