About Blood Pressure; Why Measure Your Blood Pressure; Blood Pressure Fluctuation - PiC indolor Travel Check Manual De Instrucciones

Ensure continued accuracy, it's recommended that all digital blood pressure monitors require re-calibration.
This monitor does not require re-calibration for 2 years under normal usage with approximately 3 times
a day, until, at which time your monitor displays . The unit should also be re-calibrated if the monitor
sustains damage due to blunt force (such as dropping) or exposure to fluids and / or extreme hot or cold
temperature / humidity changes. When the symbol appears, take the device to the pharmacy where
it was purchased for recalibration.
How this unit Works
TRAVELCHECK uses oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the
device will establish a baseline cuff pressure, which is equivalent to the atmospheric pressure. After the
cuff inflates to block your blood in the artery, the deflation process starts. During the deflation of the wrist
cuff, the monitor is detecting the pressure oscillations generated by the beat-to-beat pulsatile. Any muscle
movement during this period of time will cause measurement error. After detecting the amplitude and the
slope of the pressure oscillations during the deflation process, your TRAVELCHECK will determine the systolic
and diastolic pressures for you, and your pulse rate is detected at the same time.

About Blood Pressure

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)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 the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure
are by far the most common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases and
high morbidity. Therefore blood pressure monitoring is a necessity to identify these risks.

Blood Pressure Fluctuation

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