ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

1. What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure refers to the force or pressure exerted on the artery vessel
when blood flows through them. In order to allow the blood to supply nutrition
and oxygen to every organ and corner of the body, a certain level of pressure
is necessary and it comes from the each time the heart beats or contracts.
The heart activity is broken down into two phases called Systole and Diastole.
Systolic is the pressure to send blood out into the body and Diastolic is the
pressure creating the heart pulls blood back through it.
Blood pressure is recorded as systolic over diastolic, as shown below.

115/75

systole occurs during diastole occurs during
the contraction and the relaxation and
empting of the heart filling of the heart

2. What makes my blood pressure fluctuate?

Blood pressure changes in response to many factors.
These factors include changing in the temperature and humidity, physical
exercise, restlessness due to stress, fear, anxiety, anger, food and an
individual’s physical condition.

4. Why do I have to check blood pressure at home?

Home monitoring may help alleviate the medical phenomena ‘White Coat
Hypertension’ which causes many individuals’ blood pressure to be higher
when taken in a medical office setting. The elevation of it may be due to
several factors, including stress, nervousness, or increased sympathetic
activity associated with the clinical environment. It may cause your blood
pressure to rise about 20 to 50mmHg higher than usual. When monitoring at
home, you may get a truer indication of your blood pressure in a usual,

relaxed state. Regular home monitoring provides you a valuable over time
readings to give to your physician to determine and diagnose and also
provides you the information when your blood pressure falls or rises to enable
to manage your health between doctor visits.

5. What is the benefit of data transmissible blood pressure monitor?

Without going to a hospital, you can get physician’s advice with data

transmissible blood pressure monitor.
ECHO-FT is a Home to Hospital bi-directional networking blood pressure
monitor that you can transmit saved data from the device to your personal
computer through interface then send your physician them. Your physician will
read those to find health problems and give proper advice you. With the
support of the analyzing program, ECHO-FT tracks your blood pressure
changes sophisticatedly and enables you to realize the characteristics of yours

and control it. Periodically monitored and memorized readings reflect the
cardiovascular state of you under conditions more representative of your
normal daily life-style than those inherent in a clinical environment. It let you
learn when your blood pressure falls or rises. Also it let your physician optimize
the treatment program corresponding your circadian rhythm of blood pressure.
Therefore, it is important to take regular daily monitoring and keep clear
records. ECHO-FT is a time and cost saving healthcare networking instrument.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ECHO-FT.

Intended use
This home blood pressure monitoring device is indicated for use in the noninvasive
measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in adult age
18 and over, in a home care environment. ECHO-FT is designed to enable a
person who suspects some trouble with blood pressure to check it at home.

Fuzzy logic and Oscillometric method
Your unit employs fuzzy logic method to inflate and an oscillometric for
measurement of blood pressure and pulse, which refers to check blood pressure
by measuring oscillation in the cuff while the artery of the arm oscillate reflecting
contracts and relaxes every heart beat.

Data transmissible and analyzing program
This device is data transmissible. You can transmit readings saved in the memory
of the device to your personal computer, and then mail them to your physician to
get advice from her/him at home. ECHO-FT is a time saving device partially
replacing a necessity of your visit to your physician. Additionally the data
transmitted to your PC can be analyzed and tracked sophisticatedly with
analyzing software optionally offered by the manufacturer.

Software ‘Hour 24’
‘Hour24’ is a software for windows. It takes data transmitted from ECHO-FT and
enable to send them to the doctor.
Additionally the data can be analyzed and tracked with it.

Noise detecting
As ECHO-FT is contrived to detect moving or noising during measurement
process and displays it both on the real time and recalled readings on LCD. You
or your physician can determine if the readings are reliable.

Voice message
It can make you monitor blood pressure easily and know the result clearly without

the third person’s help. Especially it is useful for the elderly person.

Memory feature
It has 64 reading memory capacity recorded monitoring date and time supported
Built-in calendar and clock which are input them automatically to each reading.

Accuracy
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those
obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method,
within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or
Automated Sphygmomanometers.

Note

Blood pressure constantly fluctuates during of a day, so that monitoring

should be done at least three times and determined. Occasional high or
low readings do not mean your monitor is malfunctioning or you are ill.
The important thing is that you have information to talk with your doctor
about normal and abnormal results corresponding your circadian rhythm.
