Operation Manual

-5- -6-
These two numbers provide important information about your health. The more
difficult it is for your blood to flow through your blood vessels, the higher both
numbers will be. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called
hypertension (High blood pressure).
Our new Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor automatically measures your
systolic and diastolic blood pressure for you, then displays the results on easy-
to-read digital panel!
People with a condition that causes circulatory problems (diabetes, kidney
disease, arteriosclerosis, or poor peripheral circulation) may get lower readings
with wrist type monitor than with a blood pressure monitor that is used on the
upper arm.
Please consult your physician to determine if your wrist blood pressure
accurately reflects your actual blood pressure.
Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure fluctuates from day to
day and minute to minute according to your body's needs. For example, when
you are exercising or angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are
relaxing or sleeping your blood pressure decreases. These fluctuations are
completely normal. This portable wrist blood pressure monitor is especially
helpful when tacking changes in your blood pressure because it travels
anywhere and takes just seconds to use.

FACTORS THAT MAY CAUSE THE BLOOD PRESSURE TO FLUCTUATE
Note: One or two readings will not provide a true indication of your normal blood
pressure. It is very important to take regular, daily measurements and to keep
accurate records. In partnership with your doctor, an accurate record of your
blood pressure over a period of time can be a valuable aid in diagnosing and
preventing potential health problems.
The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the following Blood Pressure
Classification. This classification, however, is only a general guideline because
blood pressure varies from person to person according to age, weight, and
health status.
CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN TO DETERMINE YOUR NORMAL BLOOD
PRESSURE.
Note: There is not an universally accepted definition of hypotension (low blood
pressure), but a systolic pressure below 99 mmHg is usually regarded as
hypotension.
