***Systolic Blood Pressure
****Diastolic Blood Pressure
When systolic and diastolic pressure fall into different categories, the higher pressure
determines color code.
Self-measurement of blood pressure
- MAM (Measurement average mode): MAM technology makes it possible to
automatically perform three repeated measurements in moments. Repetition is
essential when measuring blood pressure oneself, because isolated readings are
often wrong for many reasons, including the high variability of blood pressure,
and high susceptibility to outside factors such as recent activity or stress.
Taking 3 consecutive readings and averaging them can improve the reliability of blood pressure
measurement at home by a non-professional. This mode of use is especially recommended by
the SFHTA in case of self-measurement.

- Rule of 3s: 3 readings recommended while sitting, resting, 3 days in a row: in the morning before
taking medications, 3 consecutive readings (MAM); in the evening after taking medications, 3

readings in a row (MAM). A single reading is not necessarily significant, especially in terms of
monitoring your blood pressure.
- Self-measurement of blood pressure: The monitoring targets for a known hypertensive
subject using self-measurement at home are different from those of the European Society of
Hypertension (ESH, which establishes the classification of the blood pressure) and lower. These
targets are based on age and may vary depending on your condition.
General case: SBP***< 135 mmHg and DBP**** < 85 mmHg
Age > 80 years: SBP* < 150 mmHg
Chronic renal failure: SBP*** < 130 mmHg and DBP**** < 80 mmHg
The figures above are for general, informational purposes only and they must be re-validated
in each case with a physician. It is important to check your targets, especially in cases of serious
illness or pregnancy.

4. USE

4.1. DESCRIPTION

View diagram B page 2
Intended use
The arm sphygmonameter is used to measure blood pressure and heart rate from the upper arm
using the oscillometric method. The device is intended for use in only adult population at home
care or hospital facilities, not applied to other populations such as neonatal baby.
Operating principle
This digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement which means that the monitor detects the signal through your brachial artery
and converts it into a digital reading.
