sels are different on the wrist and upper arm, the values may differ
slightly.
In many cases the difference can be 10 mmHg systolic and
diastolic in a healthy person.
The following groups should watch their blood pressures in
particular: hypertonic persons, diabetic patients, persons with liver
disease, hardened arteries, circulatory weakness, etc..
The new stepping valves mean a dramatic improvement of the
measuring accuracy.
Your new wrist blood pressure monitor is equipped with state-of-
the-art valve technology for extreme accuracy.
The mechanical valves have been replaced by electronic valves so
that the user can recognize even small pressure changes and
compensate them by means of the cuff pressure.
The cuff pressure is adapted in steps. A clicking sound indicates
that air is released from the cuff.
The stepwise release of the cuff pressure allows the unit to
respond more perfectly to changes in the cuff and consider them
for the evaluation. If no change is detected during any step, the air
pressure will be reduced. If changes are detected, they are
evaluated at the appropriate step level until their accuracy has
been determined.
The identification and evaluation of changes at the various steps
and corresponding adjustment of the cuff pressure mean that
more accurate values are obtained.
