Blood Pressure Monitor

Note:
Systolic pressure (SYS): When the heart contracts, empties and “pushes” blood into the
arteries, heavy pressure is exerted on the artery wall. This is referred to as systolic pressure.
Diastolic pressure (DIA): After the heart contracts, it relaxes. It draws blood back into its
chambers, no longer pumping blood into the circulation. The blood pressure is lower during
this relaxation phase. This minimum pressure is the diastolic pressure.
3. Once the measurement is displayed, it is automatically stored in the memory. When
measurement is complete, you simply press the stop/start button again in order to turn
your device off. If you forget to turn it off, it will stop automatically after two minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: it may take a few seconds for the measurements to disappear.
Inaccurate readings will be recorded if you move when measurements are being taken.
SETTING THE MEMORY
Memory recall
- This monitor can store up to 60 readings in its memory. You can therefore create a
statement with your doctor of the various measurements taken.
- To turn on the memory, press the “M” button. The first measurement displayed corresponds
to an average of all the measurements recorded. The letters AVG will appear on the screen
(Figure 7).
