1.1. Your automatic blood pressure monitor

Thank you for purchasing a fully automatic wrist blood pressure monitor.
Your monitor is designed to provide fast and reliable digital readings of
your pulse, and systolic / diastolic blood pressure using the oscillometric
method on your wrist. It offers clinically proven accuracy and has been
designed to be user friendly.
Before using your blood pressure monitor, please read this instruction
manual carefully to ensure correct use. If you have additional questions
regarding blood pressure measurements please contact your doctor.

2. How is blood pressure measured?

2.1. What is blood pressure, and why does it fluctuate?

Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the
brain and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the ner-
vous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and frequency of the
heart (pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered.
Blood vessel width is affected by way of fine muscles in the blood vessel
walls. Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during
heart activity. During the "blood ejection" (Systole), the value is highest
(systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the heart's "rest period"
(Diastole), pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value). Your blood
pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent
particular diseases.

2.2. Measurement guidelines

Blood pressure is very high if your systolic blood pressure is over 160
mmHg, and/or your diastolic pressure is above 100 mmHg while at rest.
In this case, please consult your physician immediately. Long-term values
at this level endanger your health due to continual damage to the blood
vessels in your body.
