Introduction

3

Congratulations on your purchase of the new Lumiscope
model 1140. This fully automatic, wrist style blood
pressure monitor is both easy to use and ideally suited for
daily measurements. The large display includes systolic,
diastolic and pulse, all clearly shown at the completion of
each reading.

In addition, you can store up to 30 measurements per
Memory Zone using your 1140's built-in memory, ideal for
users who want to monitor and track their blood pressure
on a regular basis. The 1140 is compact and portable,
making it ideal for home use and travel.

Blood pressure measurements determined with your 1140
are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer
using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the
limits prescribed by the American National Standard,
Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.

Please read this manual carefully before use. For specific
information on your own blood pressure, contact your
physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.

How the 1140 Works

Your model 1140 uses the oscillometric method to
detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts
inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff
pressure, which is equivalent to the air pressure. The
measurement of your blood pressure is based on
this baseline pressure. After the cuff inflates to
block your blood in the artery, the deflation process
starts. During the deflation of the wrist cuff, your
1140 is detecting the pressure oscillations
generated by the beat-to-beat pulsatile. Any muscle
movement during this period of time will cause
measurement error. After detecting the amplitude
and the slope of the pressure oscillations during the
deflation process, your 1140 will determine the
systolic and diastolic pressures for you, and your
pulse rate is detected at the same time.

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 afflicting modern
people, problems associated with high blood pressure are
by far the most common. High blood pressure's
dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease
has made measuring blood pressure a necessity of
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 overly worried if you encounter 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.
