ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls 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 today's various health problems, those associated with high blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health have developed a blood pressure standard that identifies areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure. This standard, however, is a general guideline as an individual's blood pressure varies among different people, age groups, etc.

Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults

	Systolic (mmHg)	Diastolic (mmHg)
Stage 2 Hypertension	≥ 160	\_>100
Stage 1 Hypertension	140~159	90~99
Prehypertension	120~139	80~89
Normal	<120	<80

For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood pressure, are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not have other conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease.

To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.

There is an exception to the above definition of high blood pressure for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high blood pressure for those individuals.

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Indicator to visually indicate the assumed risk level of each reading based upon these standards. See page 20 for more information on this feature.

It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure, keeping long-term records is recommended.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses Smart Sense™ Technology to detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Smart Sense™ Technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level for each individual. Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.

Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's Risk Category Indicator will alert you if your reading falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or stage 2 hypertension categories. See page 20 for more information on the Risk Category Indicator.
