HOMEDICS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR

Before use

Before the blood pressure monitor is taken into use a number of basic steps should be

observed. Please read this manual thoroughly before the blood pressure monitor is used

for the first time and keep the manual for future use.

The blood pressure monitor is intended for home use only. Any measurement is solely

for your information and can under no circumstances replace a visit to the doctor. The

blood pressure measurements should always be assessed by a qualified person (a

doctor, nurse or similar) who is familiar with the user’s general medical condition. By

regular use and by keeping a record of the results, this person can be kept well informed

about developments in the user’s blood pressure. Measurements must never be

interpreted by the user with the aim of changing levels in the use of medicine as

prescribed by a doctor, but the doctor’s instructions must be followed AT ALL TIMES.

Use of appropriate cuff size is crucial to correct measurement. Follow the instructions

presented in this manual and printed on the cuff to ensure that the correct cuff size is

used.

The blood pressure monitor is not suited for users who suffer from arrhythmia (heart

rhythm disturbances) and errors may occur in the measurement results if the user has

suffered a stroke, suffers from cardiovascular diseases, has a very low blood pressure, or

suffers from other symptoms such as circulatory diseases (diabetes, kidney diseases,

arterial sclerosis (deposits in the arteries), or poor peripheral blood circulation (e.g. in

hands and feet).

Electromagnetic disturbances: The device contains sensitive electronic components.

Keep it clear of strong electric or electromagnetic fields in the immediate surroundings

(e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens) as these may temporarily reduce

measurement accuracy.

Use the blood pressure monitor only for its original purpose.

The device is intended for measurement of blood pressure and pulse with adult persons.

Do not apply the monitor to infants nor to persons who cannot express their permission.

The device must not be operated by children.

The blood pressure monitor functions in accordance with the oscillometric

measurement principle. These blood pressure changes are measured in the cuff on the

basis of the arm pulse and are converted into a numerical value of the current blood

pressure. Simultaneously, the number of pulse beats are registered and calculated as

number of pulse beats per minute.

There are two kinds of discernible blood pressures. Both are expressed in mmHg

(millimetres on the mercury column): The systolic and the diastolic. The systolic (‘the

high blood pressure’) states the pressure when the heart chambers contract to send

blood through your body, and the diastolic (‘the low blood pressure’) states the pressure

when the heart is at ease and filling with blood before the next muscle contraction. The

connection between values (mmHg) is expressed as e.g. 130 over 85 which means that

the systolic pressure is 130 and the diastolic pressure is 85.

Why is it important to keep an eye on your blood pressure?

Many of today’s most common diseases are connected to hypertension , also referred to

as ‘high blood pressure’. Hypertension is closely connected to cardiovascular diseases,

and for people in the danger zone the blood pressure provides an important tool to

keep an eye on the development.

What are systolic pressure and

diastolic pressure?

When ventricles contract and pump

blood out of the heart, blood pressure

reaches its maximum value, the highest

pressure in the cycle is known as systolic

pressure. When the heart relaxes

between heartbeats, the lowest blood

pressure is diastolic pressure.

What is the standard blood

pressure classification?

classification mode by World Health

Organization (WHO) and International

Society of Hypertension(ISH) in 1999.

CAUTION

Only a physician/GP can tell you your normal blood pressure range and the point at

which you are at risk. Consult your physician to obtain these values. If the

measurements taken with this product fall outside the range, consult your physician/GP.
