CAUTION
Why does my blood
pressure fluctuate
throughout the day?
Is the result the same if
measuring on the right
arm?
Why do I get a different
blood pressure at home
compared to the
hospital?
1. Individual blood pressure
varies multiple times everyday. It
is also affected by the way you tie
your cuff and your measurement
position, so please take the
measurement under the same
conditions.
2.If the person takes medicine,
the pressure will vary more.
3.Wait at least 3 minutes for
another measurement.
The blood pressure is
different even throughout the
day due to weather, emotion,
exercise etc, Also, there is the
“white coat” effect, which means
blood pressure usually
increases in clinical settings.
It is ok for both arms, but
there will be some different
results for different people. We
suggest you measure the same
arm every time.
What you need to pay
attention to when you
measure your 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.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths
before beginning will be better for
measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.
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.
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.
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring
the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.During each measurement, the monitor records all the
pulse intervals and calculate the average ; if there are two or more pulse intervals ,the difference
between each interval and the average is more than the average value of ±25% , or there are four
or more pulse intervals ,the difference between each interval and the average is more than the
average value of ±15%,the irregular heartbeat symbol appears on the display when the
measurement results are appear.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The chart on the right is the
standard blood pressure classifi-
cation published by American
Heart Association (AHA).
Please consult a physician if your measuring result falls outside the range.
Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value
has reached a dangerous point.
