WHA T Y OU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BL OOD PRESSURE
What is blood pressure?
■ Blood pressure is defined as the pressure ex erted by the blood on the walls of the
arteries through which it flows. Blood pressure fluctuates during the course of each
heartbeat between the maximum (systolic) and the minimum (diastolic) value.
Blood pressure is influenced by many factors , such as physical activity, fear , anger
or by acertain time of day.
■ Blood pressure changes constantly ov er the course day. Early in the morning it rises
and before noon it falls. In the afternoon it rises again and then falls in the evening
hours. Blood pressure may also change within an instan t and so the subsequent
measurement results may vary .
Why is it important to measure your blood pressur e at home?
■ Many people have increased blood pressur e when they visit their doctor, while at
home their blood pressure is in the normal range. This is the so-called white coat
syndrome and may affect up to 15% of the population.
■ Home blood pressure measurement eliminates the whit e coat syndrome and
provides the doctor with apic ture of the various blood pressure lev els during your
natural activity.
Blood pressure classification by the World Health Organisa tion
■ The following table shows the blood pr essure classification for an adult person
according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Blood pressure category Systolic blood
pressure
(inmmHg)
Diastolic blood
pressure
(inmmHg)
Optimal <120 <80
Standard 120-129 80-84
High normal 130-139 85-89
Hypertension: Stage 1 (mild) 140-159 90-99
Hypertension: Stage 2 (medium) 160-179 100-109
Hypertension: Stage 3 (heavy) ≥180 ≥110
Isolated systolic hypertension ≥140 <90
What is cardiac arrhythmia?
■ Cardiac arrhythmias are adisorder of the rhythm of the heartbeat. They r esult from
a varied creation or conduction of electrical impulses in the hear t. Many cardiac
arrhythmias are only temporary in nature. Such types of arrhythmias are consider ed
to be harmless and include the cases where the heart misses or adds abeat. This may
be caused by strong emotions or exercise . However , there exist types of arrhythmia,
which may be life threatening and r equire professional treatment.
Symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia
■ Symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia: strong or acc elerated beating of the heart, feeling
of tiredness, vertigo, loss of consciousness , lack of breath and chest pain.
■ Symptoms of bradycardia (slow ed down heart activit y): feeling of tiredness, lack of
breath, vertigo or dizziness.
■ Symptoms of tachycar dia (accelerated heart activity): the hear tbeat may be felt in
the neck or as abeat in the chest with irregular speed, feeling of unease, weakness,
lack of breath, dizziness, sweating and v ertigo.
Can cardiac arrhythmia be trea ted?
■ Cardiac arrhythmia can to a certain extent be prevented by eliminating the
stimuli (physical exertion, stress, smoking, consumption of alcohol , coffee or
other beverages containing caffeine) aff ecting the ner vous system. Many types of
cardiac arrhythmias do not require trea tment as they are naturally compensated
by the immune system. Other types of cardiac arrhythmias must be treated with
medication (antiarrhythmic agents), defibrillator implants or pacemakers. The
treatment method depends on the type of cardiac arrhythmia, age of the patient
and their physical condition.
BASIC FUNCTIONS AND FEA TURES OF THE BL OOD PRESSURE
MONITOR
■ Measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse
■ Detection of cardiac arrhythmia
■ Adjustable length cuff for arm circumfer ences from 22– 42cm
■ Automatic inflation and air release of the cuff
■ Large display
■ 1x 60 memory positions for storing measurement results including date and time
■ Battery-powered operation
INSERTING BA TTERIES INT O THE BL OOD PRESSURE MONIT OR
Use 4x type AAA alkaline batteries to power the blood pressure monitor .
Remove the battery compartment cover and insert 4 type AAA alkaline batteries.
When inserting the batteries ensure the correct polarity as shown in the battery
compartment. Close the cover .
The batteries need to be replaced when:
■ the display shows the symbol .
■ the display is dim.
■ the display does not turn on.
Note:
If the polarity is reversed when the batteries are inserted, the device
may not only not function but may also heat up.
Do not combine used and new batteries or batteries of various types,
e.g. alkaline batteries and rechargeable batteries .
When you will not be using the device for an extended period of time,
take out the batteries.
A flat battery is damaging to the environment; please do not throw it
out with household waste.
T ake the flat battery out of the device and proceed according to local
recycling codes.
Do not throw batteries into a fire. The batteries may explode or leak out.
SETTING THE DA TE AND TIME
■ Prior to using the blood pressure monitor , it is important to correctly set the date
and current time so that the correct time and date information is sa ved in memory
together with the measured blood pressure reading . The time can be set in 24-hour
format.
1. While the blood pressure monit or is turned off, hold down the ST ART/ST OP A5
button to enter the date and time settings menu. A “Y ” icon will start flashing on
the display A6 , which means that the year needs to be set first.
2. Repeatedly press the M A4 button until the required year appears on the display
A6.
3. Once the year is set, press the ST ART/STOP A5 button to sa ve the year in the
memory of the blood pressure monitor .
