2.2 What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each
heart beat. When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into
the arteries, it brings about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known
as the systolic pressure and is the first value to be measured. When the
cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries
also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – the
diastolic pressure.
2.3 How is blood pressure measured?
The MEDISANA Wrist blood pressure monitor BW 300 connect is a
blood pressure device, which is used to measure blood pressure at the
wrist. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor - already during
the inflating process of the cuff. The device detects the systole and the
measurement is completed earlier than using conventional measurement
methods. As a result, an unnecessarily excessive inflation pressure in the
cuff is prevented. Additionally, your device is able to recognize unregular
heartbeat (so-called arrhythmia), which may affect the measurements. In
case an arrhythmia has been deteced, the respective symbol will appear in
the display of the unit (see chapter 4.2 Taking a blood pressure measure-
ment).
