To chieve the m ximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we
recommend th t you first consult with your physici n or tr ined he lth c re
profession l.
Thank you for purchasing an Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. With
proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of
reliable readings.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Monitor uses is called the
oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through
the artery in your wrist and converts the movements into a digital reading.The
oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making the
monitor easy-to-use. The preformed cuff requires little effort to apply and is
comfortable to wear.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in
the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Because the arteries in the wrist
and arm are connected, changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in
arm blood pressure. Frequent wrist blood pressure measurements will
provide you and your physician with an accurate indication of change in your
true blood pressure.
People with severe hypertension, severe arteriosclerosis or severe
diabetes should consult their physician about monitoring blood
pressure at the wrist.
Blood pressure re dings determined with this device re equiv lent to
me surements obt ined by tr ined observer using the cuff/stethoscope
uscult tion method, within the limits prescribed by the Americ n N tion l
St nd rd for Electronic or Autom ted Sphygmom nometers.

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure that is exerted by blood flowing against the
walls of the blood vessels throughout your body.
Your heart, which is the center of the circulatory system, provides the force
for the blood to flow or circulate. When your heart contracts or beats, the
blood is forced through the blood vessels increasing the pressure. This is
the highest pressure in the cycle or what is referred to as SYSTOLIC BLOOD
PRESSURE. In between beats, your heart relaxes and your blood pressure
decreases. This is referred to as
DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE.
This complete series of events which occurs in a single heartbeat is known
as the CARDIAC CYCLE.
Your Digital Blood Pressure Monitor will automatically read your blood
pressure and display both systolic and diastolic readings on the screen.Your
systolic will be positioned as the upper number and the diastolic
reading will be the lower number.
(systolic) 120/80 (diastolic)
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters (mm) of Mercury (Hg) and is
generally recorded with the systolic pressure (120) listed first and the
diastolic pressure (80) listed second.The numbers are typically separated by
a slash mark (/) as shown above.
Both pressure re dings, the SYSTOLIC nd the DIASTOLIC, re necess ry
for physici n to ev lu te the st tus of p tientʼs blood pressure.
Ple se cont ct your physici n for specific inform tion reg rding your own
blood pressure.

What Influences Blood Pressure?
Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety,
muscular development, certain medications or even the time of day can in-
fluence blood pressure. Influences such as sleep or relaxation decreases
blood pressure, while anxiety or exercise increases blood pressure.
Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?
A visit to a physician’s office can be a stressful situation for a patient, and
anxiety is a known factor in raising blood pressure. This temporary
occurrence of elevated blood pressure at the physician’s office is
commonly referred to as “white coat syndrome”.
Whether or not you experience “white coat syndrome”, home blood
pressure monitoring provides you with the opportunity to supplement your
physician’s office measurements.These home readings, when taken over a
period of time, can show an accurate indication of change. Furthermore,
your records can assist your physician in evaluating your health and in mak-
ing important decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of your
condition. Because of this, it is important to take consistent, daily
measurements of your blood pressure.
The v ri tions in your individu l re dings should only be interpreted by your
physici n or tr ined he lth c re profession l.
WHO Blood Pressure Classifications
Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure, regardless of age,
have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO) as shown
in the chart on the following page.

This ch rt is only gener l guideline. Ple se cont ct your physici n to
determine your NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure can be influenced by many factors. This change can occur from
moment to moment. Normally, blood pressure is lowest during the sleeping pe-
riod and rises during the day.The graph below represents the variations in blood
pressure shown over a day with measurements taken every 5 minutes.
The dotted line
represents the sleep
period. The rise in blood
pressure at 1p.m. (A in
the gr ph) corresponds
to a stressful occurrence
and at 7 p.m. (B in the
gr ph) a period of
exercise.
