HOW UB-512 WORKS

BEFORE YOU START

LifeSource®Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and display clear digital measurements. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method”. The term “oscillation” refers to the measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse and is a non-invasive method to determine blood pressure.

Our monitors examine the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts with each heartbeat against the monitor’s cuff. This monitor measures your blood pressure while the cuff is inflating.
