What is the standard blood pressure classification?
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.
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 blood pressure classification published by
World Health Organization (WHO) and
International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in
1999 is as follows:
SYS
DIA
<120
<80
120-129
80-84
130-139
85-89
140-159
90-99
160-179
100-109
≥180
≥110
Level
Blood
Pressure (mm Hg)
Optimal
Normal
High-normal
Mild
Moderate
Severe
CAUTION
1. Individual blood pressure varies
every in one day, it is also affected
by the way you tie your cuff and the
your measurement position, so please
take the measurement at the same condition.
Why does my blood pressure
fluctuate throughout the day?
2. The varies of the pressure is greater if the
person take medicine.
3. Waiting at least 3 minutes for another
measurement.
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.
Why the blood pressure
I get from the hospital is
different from home?
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.
If the result is the same
if measuring on the
right arm?
The attention need to pay
when you measure your
blood pressure at home:
If the cuff is tie 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.
