Healthy Living
Purchasing this blood pressure monitor is your first step in living
a healthier life, but it is only the beginning. It is also important
to:
STAY ACTIVE - Start out by taking just a short walk each
day. Over time you'll begin to feel more energetic. Walking is a
fun, easy way to help lose weight and also aids in building
stronger bones and a healthier heart!
EAT HEALTHY - Adding more fruits and vegetables to your
diet is a great way to start. Also, look at incorporating more
whole grains, fish and low fat dairy products and keep a check
on your sodium intake. If you're using a blood pressure monitor,
you should already be aware of how sodium can affect your
blood pressure. You may want to explore the potential benefits
of certain botanicals such as onion and garlic. As always, con-
sult your physician before beginning any dietary changes.

Why Should I Monitor My Blood Pressure At Home?
By monitoring at home you can manage your health care between
visits to the doctor. Also, you now have the means to keep a record
of your blood pressure measurements, a valuable tool for both you
and your healthcare provider.
Home monitoring may help alleviate White Coat Hypertension.
This term refers to what may cause a person's blood pressure to
be higher when taken in a medical setting. At times the stress of
just being in a doctor's office may cause blood pressure to rise.
When monitoring at home you may get a truer indication of your
blood pressure because you are in a relaxed, comfortable space.
What is Blood Pressure?
The term "blood pressure" refers to the force or pressure that is
exerted on the body's arteries as blood flows through them. Each
time the heart beats or contracts, it produces pressure in the arter-
ies. This blood pressure is what moves blood through the body,
supplying oxygen and nutrients to every organ.

STAY POSITIVE - A healthy mind goes hand in hand with a
healthy body. Daily relaxation techniques such as meditation and
yoga may be just what you need to alleviate stress. Keep your
mind focused on the positive things in life. Start out by giving
yourself a pat on the back for those walks you are now taking or
that apple you just ate!
WATCH YOUR WEIGHT - Sometimes just a small amount
of weight loss may have a positive effect on your blood pressure.
If you have already started exercising and eating healthier, the
weight loss may just happen on its own!
REMEMBER: Consult your physician before you start or
change your exercise routine, diet, vitamin/supplement intake
and/or blood pressure monitoring.

Why Does My Blood Pressure Fluctuate?
Blood pressure changes with every beat of the heart and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day. In addition to natural
changes, other factors that may affect blood pressure are:
Commonly Asked Questions

When the heart contracts it sends blood out into
the body. This pressure is referred to as systolic.
The pressure that is created as
the heart pulls blood back thor-
ough is called diastolic.
Blood Pressure is recorded as systolic over
diastolic.
What is considered Normal Blood Pressure?
New standards for classifying high or low blood pressure,
without regard to age, have been established by the World
Health Organization (WHO).

How Do I Know If I Have High Blood Pressure?
People have the misconception that they can "feel" their blood
pressure rise. In reality it is nearly impossible to tell if your pres-
sure is elevated without having it checked. This is why hyperten-
sion has been named "the silent killer". Start monitoring your
blood pressure today and discuss the results with your healthcare
professional.

Why Is It Important To Control My Blood Pressure?
Left uncontrolled hypertension can place an incredible amount of
stress on your heart and arteries. They are both forced to work
harder to keep blood flowing through your body. Over time this
stress may result in health related problems including enlargement
of the heart, loss of artery elasticity, heart disease, stroke and
death. Making simple lifestyle changes now may help you stay
healthy in the future.

Healthy Living monitors measure blood pressure and pulse rate
by using an oscillometric method, meaning the fluctuations in
pressure are measured. Once the cuff is wrapped around the
upper arm, the monitor is turned on and the cuff is automatical-
ly inflated. The inflation of the cuff creates pressure around the
arteries inside the arm. Within the cuff is a gauge which sens-
es the fluctuations (oscillations) in pressure. The fluctuations
measured are the arteries contracting with each heart beat as a
result of the pressure the cuff has placed on the arm. The mon-
itor measures these contractions and converts the information
to a digital value. That is the result displayed on the monitor
screen. Once the measurement is complete the cuff will auto-
matically deflate.

Commonly Asked Questions
About Blood Pressure
Commonly Asked Questions About Blood Pressure/Intended Use
Intended Use
Healthy Living blood pressure monitors are designed for home
use. They are noninvasive; no part enters your body, and provide
systolic, diastolic and pulse rate measurements. These monitors
are recommended for use by people over 18 years of age and are
not suitable for clinical use.

If taking multiple measurements, please allow 10 minutes
between measurements. This will allow your blood ves-
sels to return to their normal state.
If you have consumed beverages containing caffeine or
have smoked, please allow 30 - 45 minutes before taking
your measurement.
Do not place the cuff over a jacket
or sweater sleeve; it must be
wrapped around your exposed
upper arm.
Keep in mind that blood pressure
naturally varies from time to time
throughout the day and is affected
by many different factors, such as
smoking, alcohol consumption,
medication, and physical activity.
Blood pressure measurements taken with this unit are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using
the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method within the limits
prescribed by the American National Standard for
Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Make sure the cuff plug is attached to the monitor as
shown above.
Important information before
using the unit
11
Important information before using the unit
10 Important information before using the unit
Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a physician
or trained health professional who is familiar with one's medical
history. By using the unit regularly and recording the results for the
physician to interpret, one can keep the physician informed of the
continuing trends in one's blood pressure.
Sit quietly for about 10 minutes. This will allow your body to return
to its normal resting state.
Wrap the cuff snug around your upper arm and lay your arm on a
flat surface at the same level as your heart. Your feet should be flat
on the floor.
Do not move the device during the taking of a measurement; this
may cause an inaccurate measurement.
Perform the measurement in a quiet environment, in a relaxed posi-
tion at room temperature. For consistency, we recommend using
the same arm (left arm if possible) and testing around the same
time each day.

After setting the minute you will automatically be prompted to set the per-
sonalized level for Memory Zone 1. The storage of 120 memory readings is
divided into 3 memory zones, each maintaining up to 40 memory readings.
The following explains how to set your personalized level in each zone.
Your personalized level should be decided between you and your
healthcare provider.
Before setting your levels it is important to know:
*Your systolic rate is set between 70 and 250 mmHg.
*Your diastolic rate is set as a minimum of 40 mmHg and a maximum of
minus 5 mmHg of your set systolic rate.
For example
*Preset systolic rate is 140 mmHg; you may set the diastolic rate from
40 to 135 mmHg (140-5=135).
*Preset systolic rate is 160 mmHg; you may set the diastolic rate from
40 to 155 mmHg (160-5=155).
*Preset systolic rate is 200 mmHg; you may set the diastolic rate from
40 to 195 mmHg (200-5=195).

When taking repeat measurements, make sure to select the
same memory zone before pressing "START/STOP", so the mea-
surement is registered to the appropriate memory.
•
The result of your systolic and diastolic rates will flash
on the display for 4 seconds, and then your set per-
sonalized levels will appear for 2 seconds. This will
continue going back and forth for 1 minute before the
monitor goes into "rest" mode.
•
If the systolic or diastolic rate of your reading result is greater
than (not equal to) your set personalized level the screen will
flash. In addition the measurement that is out of range, either
systolic or diastolic, will flash. If both are out of range both will
flash.
•
To stop a reading in process, press "START/STOP" button.

*Press the " " or " " button to select the memory zone.
*Press the "M" button to get your stored memory data. If there is
no data in the memory nothing will appear.
*If there is data in the memory, the first reading will be an average
of the last three recorded set of measurements (systolic and dias-
tolic pressure and pulse rate).
*Press the "M" button again and the latest recorded set of mea-
surements will appear along with the recording time and date.
*Press the " " button to read the next set of stored data. The data
displayed starts with the most recent reading and continues back-
wards to the oldest. Each time a stored memory result is displayed
it will appear for 4 seconds and then the preset personalized level
will appear for 2 seconds. This will continue going back and forth
for 1 minute before the monitor goes into "rest" mode.
*If your memory readings are out of range of your preset personal-
ized levels they will flash as explained on the previous page.
•
3 Zones of 40 Memory
When you take a measurement, the monitor automatically stores it in
memory space number one. As you continue to take measurements, the
monitor will push the previous measurement back one space. In other
words, the value in space one will always be the most recent blood pres-
sure measurement taken.
Your monitor features a 3 party memory capability or 3 "zones" - each
zone stores 40 measurements each for a total capacity of 120 measure-
ments. This feature is useful for a user to track their blood pressure
throughout the various periods of the day: morning, afternoon, and night.
Press the "SET" button to toggle between memory zone No.1, 2, and 3.
Once you select a zone that you want to view the measurements in,

Comprar este tensiómetro es su primer paso a una vida más
sana, pero es sólo el comienzo. También es importante:
PERMANECER ACTIVO – Comience simplemente real-
izando un corto paseo cada día. Con el tiempo comenzará a sen-
tirse más energético. ¡Caminar es divertido, una manera fácil de
perder peso y también ayuda a conseguir huesos más fuertes y
un corazón más sano!
COMA DE FORMA SALUDABLE – Añadir más frutas y
verduras a su dieta es una buena forma de empezar. Procure
también añadir más grano integral, pescado y productos lácteos
bajos en calorías y hacer un seguimiento de su consumo de
sodio. Si está usando un tensiómetro, ya debería saber cómo
puede afectar el sodio a su tensión sanguínea. Quizá quiera
explorar los beneficios potenciales de ciertos productos
botánicos como la cebolla y el ajo. Como siempre, consulte a su
médico antes de comenzar cualquier cambio en la dieta.

¿Porque medir mi presión arterial en casa ?
Al comprobar su presión arterial en casa, puede controlar su
salud entre las visitas al médico. La medición en casa también
le proporciona los datos de sus controles a lo largo de los días
para entregárselos a su médico-una gran herramienta para el
control de personas hipertensas. El control en casa también
ayuda a aliviar La Hipertención de la Bata Blanca. Esta expre-
sión se refiere al fenómeno médico que sufren muchas per-
sonas, dando como resultado una presión arterial mayor cuando
se comprueba en una consulta. Por ello muchas veces el estrés
que causa la consulta del médico puede provocar que suba la
tensión hasta unos 20-50 puntos más de lo normal. Al medirse
la presion en casa, obtendrá un resultado más verídico de su
presión arterial en un estado normal de relajación.
¿Qué es la presión arterial?
El término común "presión arterial" se refiere a la fuerza o
presión que la sangre ejerece al fluir por las arterias del cuerpo
humano. Cada vez que el corazón palpita o se contrae, produce
una presión en las arterias. Esta presión arterial es lo que mueve
la sangre por todo el cuerpo, suministrando oxígeno y nutrientes
a todo el organismo.

necesita para aliviar el estrés. Mantenga su mente enfocada en
las cosas positivas de la vida. ¡Comience por felicitarse a sí
mismo por esos paseos que está dando y por esa manzana que
acaba de comerse!
CUIDE SU PESO – A veces una pequeña pérdida de peso
puede tener un efecto positivo en su tensión sanguínea.¡Si ya ha
comenzado a hacer ejercicio y a comer más sano, la pérdida de
peso puede ocurrir por sí misma!
RECUERDE: Consulte a su médico antes de comenzar o cambiar
su rutina de ejercicios, dieta, o toma de vitaminas/suplementos
y/o el uso del tensiómetro.
