ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
#MPPEQSFTTVSFJTUIFQSFTTVSFFYFSUFEPOUIFBSUFSZ
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.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension
that are publicly available from the National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)
(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_
WhatIs.html). Users can compare their own blood pressure
readings against these defined levels to determine if they
may be potentially at increased risk.

Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your
blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor
to automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate
level for each individual. With one touch of a button,
the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow
UISPVHIZPVSBSUFSZ/FYUUIFEFGMBUJPOQSPDFTTTUBSUT
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation
or deflation will cause measurement error. When
measurement is complete, the monitor will display
your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse
readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement
results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood
Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased
