When ventricles contract and pump blood
out of the heart, blood pressure reaches its
maximum value, the highest pressure in the
cycle is known as systolic pressure. When
the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the
lowest blood pressure is diastolic pressure.
What are systolic pressure and diastolic
pressure?
1. Individual blood pressure varies
every in one day, it also affected by the
way you tie your cuff and the your
measurement position, so please take
the measurement at the same condition.
2.The varies of the pressure is
greater if the person take medicine.
3.Waiting at least 3 minutes for
another measurement.

It is ok for both arms, but there
will be some different results for
different arm, so suggest you
measure the same arm every time.
Why the blood pressure
I get from the hospital
is different from home?
The blood pressure is different even
during 24 hour because of the
weather,emotion, exercise etc,
specially the “white coat” in hospital
which makes the results are higher
than the ones at home.
The attention need to pay
when you measure you blood
pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the upper arm.
If you feel anxious pressured.
You had better take deep breath 2-3
times before beginning.
Advice:adjust yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of Irregular Heartbeat
(IHB) Detector. During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and
works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, this
equipment will light up the IHB symbol on the screen when displaying the measuring result.
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular
heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern.
However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note
that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities
at an early stage.
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your
measuring result falls out of the range. Kindly note that only a physician could tell whether
your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.
The chart on the right is the standard
blood pressure classification published
by American Heart Association (AHA).
