VISIOMED TensioFlash KD-735 Manuel D'utilisation page 16

People with a condition that causes circulatory problems
(diabetes, kidney disease, arteriosclerosis, or poor peripher-
al circulation) may get lower readings with upper arm type
monitor than with a blood pressure monitor that is used on
the upper arm.
Please consult your doctor to determine if your upper arm
blood pressure accurately reflects your actual blood pressure.
Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure
fluctuates from day to day and minute to minute according
to your body's needs. For example, when you are exercising
or angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are
relaxing or sleeping your blood pressure decreases. These
fluctuations are completely normal. This portable upper
arm blood pressure monitor is especially helpful when tack-
ing changes in your blood pressure because it travels any-
where and takes just seconds to use.

Factors that may cause the blood pressure to fluctuate:
Breathing, Exercise, Mental stress, Worries, Environmental
and/or temperature change, Eating, Talking, Taking a bath,
Drinking alcohol, Smoking, etc...
Note : One or two readings will not provide a true indication of
your normal blood pressure. It is very important to take regular,
daily measurements and to keep accurate records. In partnership
with your doctor, an accurate record of your blood pressure over a
period of time can be a valuable aid in diagnosing and preventing
potential health problems.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) developed the fol-
lowing Blood Pressure Classification. This classification,
however, is only a general guideline because blood pres-
sure varies from person to person according to age, weight,
and health status.
