Blood pressure and measuring blood

pressure

Nowadays, excessively high blood pressure is one of the main causes of death.

Many people are unaware that their blood pressure is too high.

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is a measurement of the force that the heart has to exert to pump

the blood through the circulatory system and vital organs in the body. The higher

the blood pressure, the harder the heart has to work.

12450 AUS Final REV1 Content.indd 1312450 AUS Final REV1 Content.indd 13 24.08.2012 14:16:4824.08.2012 14:16:48

Normal and high blood pressure

With every heartbeat, blood pressure ﬂ uctuates between a maximum value

(systolic), when the heart pumps blood into the circulatory system and a

minimum value (diastolic) when the heart ﬁ lls up with blood again. Blood

pressure is the average of these values.

Blood pressure may be higher than usual if parts of the circulatory system are

restricted, diseased or abnormal in other ways. High blood pressure can cause

damage to vital organs including the brain and heart.

Measuring blood pressure

Everybody’s blood pressure changes constantly. Fluctuations may be caused

by mental and physical factors (such as fear, exertion, smoking, caffeine or

12450 AUS Final REV1 Content.indd 1512450 AUS Final REV1 Content.indd 15 24.08.2012 14:16:4824.08.2012 14:16:48

stress). Blood pressure can also be affected by the time of day, time of year or

temperature.

This blood pressure measuring unit helps you to take regular, comparative

measurements. Individual, irregular measurements are therefore not very

meaningful.

The guidelines for normal and high blood pressure (diastolic and systolic value)

have been deﬁ ned by the World Health Organization “WHO” as shown in the

following table.

Notes on correct measurement

Using your unit, you can get an overview of your blood pressure by measuring it

regularly and using clear records.

To make sure that the values give a realistic picture of your blood pressure,

please follow the instructions below:

• Measure your blood pressure several times during the day.

• Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of day.

• Always take blood pressure measurements under the same conditions.

Always use the same arm.

• Measure your pressure when you are relaxed. Try to rest for fifteen minutes

before measuring your blood pressure.

• You should wait an hour after a large meal before measuring your blood

pressure.

• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.

• Do not undertake any physical activity an hour before measuring your blood

pressure.

• Do not measure your blood pressure if you are under stress or are tense.

12450 AUS Final REV1 Content.indd 1712450 AUS Final REV1 Content.indd 17 24.08.2012 14:16:4924.08.2012 14:16:49

• Measure your blood pressure at normal body temperature, but not if you are

too hot or cold.

• Wait around five minutes before repeating the measurement.

If you record a value that differs greatly from your normal blood pressure

measurement, you should take another measurement around ﬁ ve minutes later.

This will allow you to rule out any of the factors mentioned above, which could

result in an incorrect measurement.

Have a doctor diagnose your measurements

After you take your measurements, a doctor should interpret the values and

diagnose them. The doctor will tell you which blood pressure level is normal for

you, and which peculiarities you should report if they occur.

CAUTION!

Danger from self-treatment or self-medication. Clarify any

abnormal values with your doctor. Only take medication as

prescribed by your doctor.

Inaccurate measurement results may appear in the following groups: Persons

with high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease, hardened arteries, irregular

heartbeat (arrhythmia), poor circulation and so on.

The unit’s measuring technology

Your blood measuring unit contains high quality technical components and

materials for measuring pressure, processing the signals and displaying the

values on a liquid crystal display. It also measures and displays your pulse rate.

The unit measures blood pressure indirectly using a sleeve around the wrist.

Inﬂ ating the sleeve presses the arteries together so that no more blood can ﬂ ow

through them. If the pressure in the sleeve is then reduced, this creates a relation

between the sleeve pressure and the blood pressure.

The unit has electronic step valves that can detect even slight changes during

the measurement, which can be evened out using the sleeve pressure.

By reducing the pressure step-by-step, ﬂ uctuations in the sleeve are recorded

by the unit and included in the assessment. If no ﬂ uctuations are recorded for

a step, the air pressure is reduced. Existing ﬂ uctuations are assessed at the

corresponding step level until they can be determined precisely.
