Eight steps for measure blood pressure properly

Step 1

Avoid taking measurements directly after eating, drinking or smoking. Allow at least one hour between these activities and measurement of your blood pressure.

1 Hour Before

Step 2

Prepare a chair and table for the measurement. The chair should have a vertical back-rest and the table should allow your upper arm to rest at the same height as your heart.

Step 3

Remove all clothing covering or constricting the arm to be measured. Apply the cuff. Make sure the lower edge of the cuff is exactly 2–3cm from the inner fold of your arm. The tube connecting the cuff to the device should be placed on the inside of the arm. (Additional visual instruction can be found on the cuff)

Step 4

Sit down and relax for at least ve minutes prior to the measurement.

Special Function

Atrial brillation detection

This device is designed to screen for atrial brillation during blood pressure measurements both in «USUAL» Mode and «DIAG.» Mode. If atrial brillation is detected during all readings of the triple measurements in usual mode or all four readings of one day in diagnostic mode, the Ab icon displayed. If the Ab icon is displayed after a blood pressure measurement follow the instructions on page

21.

Joseph Wiesel, et al. Detection of Atrial Fibrillation Using a

Modiﬁed Microlife Blood Pressure Monitor. American Journal of Hypertension 2009; 22, 8, 848–852.

IAD

Atrial ﬁbrillation, a major cause of stroke can be detected by

this device. However, not all risk factors for stroke, including atrial ﬂutter, may be detected by this device.

This device may not detect atrial ﬁbrillation in people with

pacemakers or deﬁbrillators. People with pacemakers or deﬁbrillators should therefore not use this device to detect atrial ﬁbrillation.

About Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial brillation is a common heart rhythm problem and a common cause of major strokes. It affects more than 2 million people in North America. It is more common in old age and found in 10% of people over 80 years old. About 20% of all strokes are caused by atrial brillation. The elderly, or those with high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease are more likely to get a stroke if they have atrial brillation.

Atrial brillation is a rhythm problem that can last from a few minutes, to days or weeks and even years. Atrial brillation can lead to the formation of blood clots in the upper chambers of the heart (the atria). These clots can break off and ow to the brain causing stroke. The use of blood thinners, such as warfarin , can lower the risk of stroke in patients with atrial brillation.

A doctor can conrm the presence of atrial brillation by using an EKG. Atrial brillation can sometimes come and go. So a doctor may not see its symptoms on regularly scheduled visits.

One sign of atrial brillation is palpitations. But, many people don’t feel anything. These people can still get a stroke and should be checked for atrial brillation regularly. Diagnosing atrial brillation earlier and followed by treatment can lower the chances of getting a stroke.

Atrial Fibrillation Detector

The WatchBP home A can screen for atrial brillation during blood pressure measurement.

Some people may have atrial brillation occasionally that lasts longer than a day. In this situation the WatchBP Home A allows frequent screening on multiple days for optimal diagnosis of atrial brillation.

Sometimes the device might falsely detect atrial brillation which can have two causes:

1) The arm has moved during blood pressure measurement. For this reason it is of essential importance that the arm is kept still during the measurement.

2) Some arrhythmia (irregular heart beat) other than atrial brillation might be present. In such a case it is still recommended to pay a visit to the doctor.

For people with pacemakers or debrillators it is not recommended to use the WatchBP Home A for diagnosing atrial brillation.

Measurement

If atrial brillation is detected during all readings of the triple measurements in «USUAL» Mode or all four readings of one day in «DIAG.» Mode then atrial brillation is most likely present.

Since atrial brillation sometimes lasts for only a few minutes. It is recommended to perform another measurement session one hour later. If this also shows the presence of atrial brillation then a doctor should be seen. It is recommended to take the device when visiting the doctor.

Atrial brillation detection instructions

• Use this device regularly, once per week, or once per month to screen for atrial brillation.

• If atrial brillation is detected during all readings of the triple measurements, another measurement session should be done approximately one hour later.

• If this last reading shows atrial brillation contact your doctor.

• Take this device with you when you see the doctor.

Information for the doctor

This device is designed to detect atrial brillation and false negative readings are very rare. Though it is programmed to specically detect atrial brillation, frequent premature beats, marked sinus arrhythmia or other rhythm abnormalities might cause false positive readings. If atrial brillation is detected by the device at home, we suggest another reading done in the doctor’s ofce. If the atrial brillation icon is not displayed then the previous abnormal readings may have been due to transient atrial brillation. If the atrial brillation icon is displayed then it is suggested to perform an EKG to determine the exact rhythm abnormality.
