Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg or you use the
optional small cuff, use this procedure.
1.
Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
2.
Press and hold the
number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher
than your expected systolic pressure
appears.
3.
Release the
measurement,
number is reached. Then continue to
measure your blood pressure as
described on the previous page.
Notes For Proper Measurement
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the
measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff
will be at the same height as your heart.
Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you
are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will
reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure
reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4 for the
description of symbols.
This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult
with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not
use this device unattended.
