6 Blood pressure

6.1 What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). The pressure measured when

the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

6.2 Why measure your blood pressure?

Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases

and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressures a necessity of identifying those at risk.

6.3 Blood pressure standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a Blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard however, is a general guideline as individual's blood pressure varies among different people and different groups...etc.

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.

6.4 Blood pressure fluctuation

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!

You should not be worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels.

Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day depending on circumstances (state of mind, temperature, ...)

• Press the "MEM" button for increasing the year, use the "SET" button to confirm the desired year.
• Change the months, days, hours and minutes as described above, using the "MEM" button to increase and use the "SET" button to confirm every setting.
  After setting the minutes press "SET" and the current unit will appear. Use the Set button to choose between kPa or mmHg.
• Press the "start/stop" button to save the current settings and turn off.

10.2 Applying the cuff

1. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc. prior to attaching the wrist monitor. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up and the cuff should be wrapped on bare skin for correct measurements. Apply cuff to left wrist with palm facing up.
2. Make sure the edge of the cuff is about 1 cm from the palm. In order to insure accurate measurements.
3. Fasten the velcro strap securely around your wrist so there is no extra space between the cuff and the wrist. If the cuff is not wrapped tight enough, the measurement values will be false.
4. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation on your left arm, place the cuff around your right wrist.

11 Measuring posture

1. Relax your entire body, especially the area between your elbow and fingers. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

Your heart is located slightly below your arm pit.

1. If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you can not keep your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as folded towel to support your arm.
2. Turn your palm upwards. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken.

12 Measurement

12.1 Important

1. This monitor automatically switches off 2 minute after the last key operation.
2. To interrupt the measurement, simply press any key. The cuff will deflate immediately after a key is pressed.
3. During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
4. The result will be stored automatically in the selected Memory Zone. Select the desires Memory Zone before measurement (see chapter §14)

13 Procedure

• Press the START/STOP button to activate the monitor, first all symbols will appear and then the cuff will automatically inflate to the level that is right for you.
• Measurement starts while inflating. The heartbeat symbol flashes once a pulse is detected.
• When the right level is reached, the cuff will deflate.
• When the measurement is completed, systolic, diastolic and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen.
  The measurement results will be stored automatically in the memory.
• Press the "start/stop" button to turn off the unit, after 2 minutes the unit will turn on automatically.

• To stop the inflation or measurement, press the "start/stop" button in anytime. the unit will stop inflating and then release and turn off.

13.1 Irregular heartbeat (IHB)

The appearance of this symbol "IHB" signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during measurement.

Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this icon.

Usually this is not a cause for concern, however if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice.

And please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

The irregular heart beat detected record wont be stored in memory. The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemarks. If a certain pulse irregularity is detected during measurement often, we recommend you seek medical advice.

However, as a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you should check with your physician before using your device.

The IHB function is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmic problem. In order to filter the unstable status of user and avoid affecting the detection of heart rate from any movement, shaking or talking in the beginning of measurement, the method of averaging heart beat intervals for subject device is calculated with the three proper heart beat pulses detected in the beginning of measurement and that is different from a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals.

At least 3 beats with at least 25% difference from the average heart beat interval will generate the IHB icon on the screen.

14 Memory

The unit stores the blood pressure and pulse rate in the memory after completing a measurement every time. It can automatically store 60 sets measurement values. The earliest record is deleted to save the latest measurement value when more than 60 sets. The unit also calculates an average reading based on the values of the latest 3 times measurement taken.

• Press the "MEM" button, the average value of the latest 3 times measurement values of the current user will display.
• Press the "MEM" button to display the set of measurement values with the measuring date and time from the oldest to the most recent.

TOPCOM BD-4620
