ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
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.
What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?

Systolic

Diastolic
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the
heart, the blood pressure reaches its maximum value
in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure. When
the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its
minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic
pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The blood pressure classification published by
World Health Organization (WHO) and
International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in
1999 is as follows:
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
heart-beat 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.
CAUTION
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.
3.Waiting at least 3 minutes for
another measurement.
Why does my blood pressure
fluctuate throughout the
day?
If the result is the same
if measuring on the
right arm?
It is ok for both arms, but there
will be some different results for
different person, 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.
2.The variations in the pressure can
be greater or smaller, depending on
the actual medicine taken.
