WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is blood pressure?
■ Blood pressure is defined as the pressure exerted 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 over 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 instant and so the subsequent
measurement results may vary.
Why is it important to measure your blood pressure at home?
■ Many people have increased blood pressure 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 white coat syndrome and
provides the doctor with apicture of the various blood pressure levels during your
natural activity.
Blood pressure classification by the World Health Organisation
■ The following table shows the blood pressure 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 result from
a varied creation or conduction of electrical impulses in the heart. Many cardiac
arrhythmias are only temporary in nature. Such types of arrhythmias are considered
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 require professional treatment.
Symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia
■ Symptoms of cardiac arrhythmia: strong or accelerated beating of the heart, feeling
of tiredness, vertigo, loss of consciousness, lack of breath and chest pain.
■ Symptoms of bradycardia (slowed down heart activity): feeling of tiredness, lack of
breath, vertigo or dizziness.
■ Symptoms of tachycardia (accelerated heart activity): the heartbeat 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 vertigo.
Can cardiac arrhythmia be treated?
■ 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) affecting the nervous system. Many types of
cardiac arrhythmias do not require treatment 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 FEATURES OF THE BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR
■ Measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse
■ Detection of cardiac arrhythmia
■ Adjustable length cuff for arm circumferences 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 BATTERIES INTO THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
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.
Aflat battery is damaging to the environment; please do not throw it
out with household waste.
Take the flat battery out of the device and proceed according to local
recycling codes.
Do not throw batteries into afire. The batteries may explode or leak out.
SETTING THE DATE 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 saved in memory
together with the measured blood pressure reading. The time can be set in 24-hour
format.
1. While the blood pressure monitor is turned off, hold down the START/STOP 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 START/STOP A5 button to save the year in the
memory of the blood pressure monitor.
