To use the Blood Pressure Lowering System please follow the instructions below:
1.
The Blood Pressure Lowing System begins by measuring your breathing rate and pattern. During
this phase, background music will play and a figure showing your breathing movements will appear
on the screen. The figure fills up as you breathe in and empties as you breathe out. You should
relax and breathe while the Blood Pressure Lowing System measures your breathing rate and
pattern. Once it has successfully measured your current breaths per minute (breaths /min), the
result will be displayed on the screen. This should take no longer than 2 minutes.
2. The Blood Pressure Lowering System will select the correct tune and tempo based on your
breathing rate. Listen to the tune and 'breathe in' at the high tone signal and 'breathe out' at the
low tone signal. Change your breathing patterns with the tones, which slow down gradually. For
the first minute, voice instructions will indicate when to 'breathe in' and 'breathe out'.
3. If you do not follow the breathing tones you will be notified with a voice prompt and additional
voice instructions.
