3 Helpfull tips

Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:

• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• It is important that you relax during measurement. Try to take 15-minutes rest before a reading.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension.
  • Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next pressure measurement.

5 Blood pressure

5.1 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.

5.2 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.

5.3 Blood pressure standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program 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.

5.4 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, ...)

9.3 3D Wrist position system

Keeping the wrist at your heart level while measuring is extremely important to get accurate blood pressure values.

This monitor features a Wrist Position Sensor which guides you to adjust your posture by the WRIST POSITION INDICATOR symbols shown on screen and helps to determine your optimal height of the wrist for measurement.

10 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.

13.2 Irregular heartbeat (IHB)

The appearance of this symbol, ^1 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.
