1-1. What is blood pressure ?
1.
Having one's blood pressure measured by a doctor in a hospital or a clinic, and a
group health checks, tends to stimulate nervousness in the subject and may even
create high blood pressure, blood pressure also varies in accordance with a variety of
conditions and so judgment is not possible on the basis of a single measurement.
The blood pressure measured first thing in the morning after getting up, before taking
any food and with the subject still, is known as the fundamental blood pressure. In
practice it is rather difficult to record the fundamental blood pressure, but to come as
near as possible to measuring the blood pressure in an environment that is close to
this is why it is useful to take the measurement at home.
Blood pressure is a measurement of the force of blood flowing against the walls of
the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the
cardiac cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure
and the lowest is the diastolic blood pressure. Both of pressure readings, the systolic
and the diastolic, are necessary to enable a physician to evaluate the status of a patient's
blood pressure. Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety or the time of day can
influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases
from the afternoon to the evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter.
1-2. Why is it useful to measure blood pressure at home?
A. WHO blood pressure classifi cations
Standards for assessment of high or low
blood pressure without regard to age, have
been established by the World Health
Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart.

* Figure No.1
B. Variations in blood pressure
* Figure No.2
Individual blood pressures vary greatly
both on a daily and a seasonal basis.
These variations are even more pronounced in hypertense patients.
(Hypertense: means a person who has high blood pressure symptom.)
Normally the blood pressure rises while at work
and is at its lowest during sleeping period. The
graph below illustrated the variations in blood
pressure over a whole day with measurement
taken every five minutes. (The thick line
represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4
PM <A in the graph> and 12 PM <B in the
graph> correspond to an attack of pain.)
● Please rest for at least 5 ~ 10 minutes before taking the measurement.
● To allow your blood vessels to return to the condition prior to taking the measurement, please wait at least 3 ~ 5 minutes
between measurements. You may need to adjust the wait time according to your personal physiological situation.
● If you have one of the circulatory problems as arteriosclerosis, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, severe
hypertension, peripheral circulation......, please consult your doctor or healthcare professional before using the devices.
● 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
physician informed of the continuing trends in one's blood pressure.
● Wind the cuff snugly around your wrist and the cuff must be at the same level as your heart.
● Do not move the unit during measurement, or the proper measurement will not be achieved.
● Take measurement in a relaxed position without talking.
● Do not wind the cuff over jacket or sweater sleeve, or measurement cannot be done.
● Keep in mind that blood pressure naturally varies from time to time throughout the day and also is affected by lots of
different factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, medication and physical activity.
● People with a condition that causes circulatory problems (diabetes, kidney disease, arteriosclerosis or poor peripheral
circulation) may get lower readings with this monitor than with a blood pressure monitor that is used on the upper arm.
Please consult your physician to determine if your wrist blood pressure accurately reflects your actual blood pressure.
● Blood pressure measurements taken with the unit are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the
cuff / stethoscope auscultation method and are within the accuracy limits prescribed by the American National Standard
for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
2. Important information before use of the unit
● Wait 30 ~ 45 minutes before measurement if you have just consumed caffeinated beverages or smoked cigarettes.
● We recommend you to use the same wrist (preferably the left wrist) and to measure around the same time each day.
4-2. Irregular Heartbeat Detector (IHB)
*NoteΜ
● Any irregular heartbeat detected will not be stored in the memory.
The appearance of this symbol, , signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected
during the measurement. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the measurement
can result in the appearance of this icon. Usually this is not a cause for concern, however if the
symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device will
not replace a true cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
As a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you should check with your physician
before using your BPM.
The hearbeat rhythm that is more than or less than 25% from the average heart beat intervals is
usually defined as an irregular heartbeat rhythm.In order to filter the unstable status of user and
avoid affecting the detection of heart rate from any movement, shaking or talking in the begining of
measurement, the method of averaging heart beat intervals of subject device is calculated with the
three proper heart beat pulses detected in the begining of measurement and that is different from
a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals.At least 3 beats with at least 25% difference
from the average heart beat interval will generate the IHB symbol on the LCD.
*Attention!
● Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not dispose them together with the household garbage.
Please take the used batteries to the recycling collection point according to your local regulations.
● Keep the battery away from small children.
● To prolong the battery life and prevent damage caused by leakage, remove the batteries from the
device if the device is not to be used for a long period.
● Memories (if any) will not be deleted during battery replacement.
● After replacing the batteries, reset the date and time.
