Healthy Living
This blood pressure monitor is the first step to living a healthier life. But
monitoring your blood pressure at home is just the beginning, it's also
important to:
---- Start out by taking a quick walk each day.
Before you know it, you'll feel energized. That's because along with being
an easy way to shed a few pounds, walking also helps your bones and
heart become stronger.
---- Remember, you are what you eat! So when you reach
for a snack, try grabbing a piece of fruit or a vegetable. When cooking
meals at home try to use fats and oils sparingly. Sometimes a healthy
diet is the best medicine of all! It's also a good idea to monitor your
sodium intake because about one-third of individuals who have high
blood pressure are also sodium sensitive. Consult your doctor regarding
over-the-counter supplements and herbs such as onion and garlic. Both
EXERCISE REGULARLY
EAT RIGHT
of these plants have been historically linked to producing mild anti-
hypertension effects.
--- A positive attitude is a big part of a healthy body. Try not
to get too stressed out over things. Daily relaxation techniques such as
gentle yoga or even quiet time by yourself can do a lot of good for the
mind and body. Stay focused on the good things in life. Begin by con-
gratulating yourself for that short walk you just took or the smart food
choice you made. It's your first step to a healthier life!
--- Surprisingly, losing even a small
amount of weight can often times help control high blood pressure. Talk
with your doctor to find a healthy weight for you and strive to come
within a range of it.
Remember to consult your physician prior to beginning an exercise
program, vitamin/mineral, dietary changes or programs and blood
pressure monitoring.

Commonly Asked Questions
Why Should I Monitor My Blood Pressure At Home?
White Coat Hypertension.
By monitoring at home, you may manage your health in between
visits. Home monitoring also provides you with a record of blood
pressure measurements over time to give to your doctor-a valuable tool
in monitoring hypertension.
Home monitoring may also help alleviate
This term refers to the medical phenomena which causes many
individual's blood pressure to be higher when taken in a medical office
setting. That's because many times the stress of being in the doctor's
office may cause blood pressure to rise as much as 20-50 points higher
than normal. When monitoring at home, you may get a truer indication of
your blood pressure in a normal, relaxed state.

What Is Blood Pressure?
pressure
contracts
The commonly used term blood pressure refers to the force or
that is exerted on the body's arteries as blood flows through
them. Each time the heart beats or , it produces pressure in
the arteries. This blood pressure is what moves blood through the body,
supply oxygen and nutrients to every organ.
When the heart contracts it sends blood out into the body. This
pressure is referred to as
The pressure that is created as the heart pulls blood back through is
called
Blood pressure is recorded as systolic over diastolic, as shown here.
systolic.
diastolic.
Reference: Journalof Hypertension. 2003Nov., WHO/ISH statement on management ofHypertension.
Why Does My Blood Pressure Fluctuate?
Because blood pressure changes with every beat of the heart it is in
constant fluctuation throughout any given day. In addition to these
natural changes there are other factors that may affect blood pressure
such as:
Temperature(too hot or cold) Fear
Anger Anxiety
Humidity Food and beverage consumption
Restlessness Individual physical conditions
Lack of sleep Constipation
Physical exercise Stress
How Do I Know I Have High Blood Pressure?
It's nearly impossible to know if your blood pressure is elevated
without having it checked. People have the common misconception that
one can feel their blood pressure rise. It is because of this mystery
that hypertension has been named the silent killer . Don't let it sneak
up on you! Start monitoring your blood pressure every day with your
new monitor.
Why Is It Important To Control My Blood Pressure?
Left uncontrolled, hypertension can place an incredible amount of
stress on your heart and arteries, both of which become forced to work
harder to keep blood flowing in a healthy manner throughout the body.
Over time, this stress can result in health problems including overenlargement of the heart, loss of elasticity of the arteries, heart disease,
stroke and even death. Making some simple lifestyle changes now can
help you to stay healthy in the future.
Upperarm digital sphygmomanometers are convenient for home use.
They are noninvasive, meaning no part of the monitor enters your body,
and provide systolic, diastolic and pulse measurements. The upperarm
digital sphygmomanometers are recommended for use by people over
the age of 18 and are not suitable for clinical use.

What Is Considered Normal Blood Pressure?
The well-res pected World Health Organization (WHO) has set forth the
following guidelines regarding high (commonly referred to as
hypertension), low and borderline blood pressure.
Measurement Method
THIS upperarm digital sphygmomanometers measure blood pressure and
pulse by using what's called the method, meaning theoscillometric
measure the fluctuations in pressure. This is done by first wrapping a
fitted cuff around the upperarm. The monitor then automatically fills the cuff
with air creating pressure around the arteries inside the upperarm. Mounted
inside of the cuff is a special gauge that is capable of sensing the small
oscillations (fluctuations) in pressure. These fluctuations are produced
as a result of the pressure the cuff has placed around the upperarm and are,
in a basic sense, the arteries contracting (getting larger and smaller)
with each heart beat. The monitor then measures how high and how
quickly these contractions occur and converts that information into a
digital value. A special valve, called an electrode, deflates the monitor
Automatically when the measurement is complete.

Important Reminders
Follow your doctor's advice on how and when
to take your blood pressure. Here are some
important hints:
Before Taking a Measurement
Sit quietly for about 10 minutes. This will allow your body to return to
its normal, resting state.
Take your blood pressure in a comfortable environment - not too cold,
not too hot - as temperature may affect your measurement.
If you've just consumed beverage containing caffeine such as coffee,
non-herbal tea. or cola wait 30-45 minutes. Also, don't smoke just
before taking a measurement.

While Taking a Measurement
Sit still and quietly while measuring. Talking or moving may elevate
measurements.
For consistency, it's a good idea to measure your blood pressure
using the same upperarm and at about the same time each day. If
possible, we suggest using your left upperarm.
When taking multiple measurements right after each other, make
sure you wait at least 10minutes in between. Waiting will allow your
blood vessels to return to their normal state.
Sit with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor. Do not
touch the cuff or monitor at any time during the measurement. Relax.
Applying the Cuff
Before you put the cuff on your upperarm
make certain that you are not wearing a thick
coat or sweater.
If you are wearing a long sleeved shirt, roll
up the sleeve, but make sure that it is not
constricting circulation to your upperarm.
Wrap the cuff around your upperarm making
sure that it is secure but is not too tight.
It is important to make sure that the upperarm
cuff is at the same level as your heart.
Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement
When your measurement is complete, the
monitor will deflate automatically, releasing
the air pressure in the cuff.
The entire measurement process should take
less than one minute. Once measurement is
complete, the window will display your blood
pressure and pulse measurements.

Taking Care of Your Monitor
If you want to stop during measurement, just press the button,
the monitor will deflate automatically.
It's important to treat your monitor with care. Here are some basic tips:
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight,
high humidity, and extreme temperature changes.
Try not to drop it on the floor.
Do no take the monitor or the cuff apart. Do not attempt to fix any of
the monitor's parts at home. if your monitor needs repairs see details
in warranty section.
Keep the monitor free of dust and other materials. Avoid getting any
part of the monitor or cuff extremely wet. If the monitor needs
cleaning it's best to wipe it with a cloth slightly dampened with water.
It is recommended that you clean your monitor about once a month.
For your safety, do not wrap the cuff around any other body part other
than your upperarm.
Do not harshly fold or bend the cuff as this may damage it on the
side.in
Do not inflate the monitor's cuff if it is not wrapped around your
upperarm.
