Notes For Proper Measurement

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a table or other support so

that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.

Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by emotional

stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the
pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.

An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what they are doing and what they have eaten.

What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.

This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak or irregular heartbeat, the device

may have difficulty determining your blood pressure.

Should the device detect a condition t hat is abnormal, it will stop the measurement and display an error symbol.

See page 5 for the description of symbols.

This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician before using this

device on a child. A child should not use this device unattended.

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat?

Model UB-511 blood pressure monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an

irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average
of all heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is important that you be relaxed, remain still and do
not talk during measurements.

Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this indicator frequently.

About Blood Pressure

What Is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the

heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of
mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured
first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.

What Is Hypertension And How Is It Controlled?

Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended can cause many health problems including

stroke and heart attack. Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with medication under
a doctor’s supervision.

English 12

p

To prevent hypertension or keep it under control:

Do not smoke Exercise regularly
Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups
Maintain proper weight

Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home?

Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause

apprehension and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30
mmHg higher than that measured at home. Home measurement
reduces the effects of outside influences on blood pressure
readings, supplements the doctor's readings and provides a more
accurate, complete blood pressure history.

WHO Blood Pressure Classification

Standards to assess high blood pressure, without regard to age,

have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO),
as shown in the chart on the right.

individuals variations are even more pronounced. Normally, the blood pressure rises
while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep. So, do not be overly
concerned by the results of one measurement.

Take measurements at the same time every day using the procedure described

in this manual to get to know your normal blood pressure. Regular readings give
