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 below 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.
5IJTUBCMFJTBQQMJDBCMFUPNPTUBEVMUTBHFEBOEPMEFS
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people
who normally don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay

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

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
