How does the blood pressure monitor
work?
Your blood pressure monitor contains high quality
components for measuring the pressure and to dis-
play the values on the display. It also measures and
displays your pulse frequency.
The device 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 re-
duced, this creates a relationship between the sleeve
pressure and the blood pressure.
The device has electronic step valves that can detect
even slight changes during the measurement, which
can be evened out using the sleeve pressure. By re-
ducing the pressure step-by-step, fl uctuations in the
sleeve are recorded by the device 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.
