What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). 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 the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.

Blood Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures var y between different people, age groups, etc. It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

.Blood Pressure Fluctuation

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! You should not be overly worried if you encounter two or three measurements at high levels. Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day. It is also influenced by season and temperature

Taking a Measurement

1. Press the POWER button. All displays will appear for approximately one second before returning to "0". If the downward arrow " " flashes, there is air remaining in the cuff. Release it by pressing the "Air Release Valve" until "0" appears on display.

The unit is ready for measurement at this point.

2. Pump the bulb to increase pressure in the arm cuff. The display will show the pressure reading within the cuff. Continue pumping until the pressure reaches approximately 50~60 mmHg above your
normal systolic pressure. Three short beeps will be heard if you
pump the pressure to 170 mmHg, to remind you to stop.

If the cuff pressure is not enough, an upward arrow ( ) will display and two short beeps will be heard to remind you that you should continue pumping.

3. Sit still and wait for the monitor to deflate and measure your blood pressure. It is important to remain still and quiet during measurement. Any significant movement may affect measurement results.

4. Upon completion of the measurement cycle, the monitor will display systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings and the unit will make a long beep. Measurement is now complete, and the reading is automatically stored in the monitor. The display will indicate a downward arrow ( ). Keep pressing the air release valve above the bulb until all pressure in cuff is released.

5. Press the POWER button to turn off the power. If no button is pressed, the unit will shut off automatically in approximately one minute.

Recalling Memory

1. To recall stored blood pressure readings from memory, simply press the Memory button. The last set of memorized readings will be displayed.

2. Another press of the Memory button will recall the previous set of readings.

3. All readings stored in memor y will be displayed with its sequence number.

Helpful Tips

Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:

• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring.
  
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
  
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
  
• It is important that you relax during measurement. Take a 15-minute rest before a reading.
  
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension.
  
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
  
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
  
• Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement.
