The unit’s measuring technology
Your blood measuring unit contains high quality technical components and
materials for measuring pressure, processing the signals and displaying the
values on a liquid crystal display. It also measures and displays your pulse rate.
The unit measures blood pressure indirectly using a sleeve around the wrist.
Infl ating the sleeve presses the arteries together so that no more blood can fl ow
through them. If the pressure in the sleeve is then reduced, this creates a relation
between the sleeve pressure and the blood pressure.
The unit has electronic step valves that can detect even slight changes during
the measurement, which can be evened out using the sleeve pressure.
By reducing the pressure step-by-step, fl uctuations in the sleeve are recorded
by the unit and included in the assessment. If no fl uctuations are recorded for
a step, the air pressure is reduced. Existing fl uctuations are assessed at the
corresponding step level until they can be determined precisely.
