Quick Read Measuring Technology

This monitor uses trend-setting Quick Read Technology to detect your blood pressure. With one
touch of a button, the device will automatically start to inflate and determine your blood pressure
by analysis of your pressure oscillations. When the measurement is completed, the device
will exhaust cuff pressure and display your systolic, diastolic, and pulse. Measurement time is
significantly shortened, and user comfort is greatly enhanced.

About Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries.
The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic
(highest). The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart
is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?

Among the various health problems today, problems associated with high blood pressure are by
far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular
diseases has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.

Blood Pressure Standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a blood pressure standard, according to
which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a
general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc.

It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your
normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.

Blood Pressure Fluctuation

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!

You should not be overtly worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the day. It is also influenced by
season and temperature.
