ABOUTBLOODPRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?

Bloodpressureisthepressureexertedontheartery

wallswhilebloodflowsthroughthearteries.Thepressure

measuredwhentheheartcontractsandsendsblood

outoftheheartissystolic(highest)bloodpressure.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today’svarioushealthproblems,thoseassociated

withhighbloodpressureareverycommon.Highblood

pressuredangerouslycorrelateswithcardiovascular

diseases.Therefore,bloodpressuremonitoringis

importantforidentifyingthoseatrisk.

USING THE ARM CUFF

Very Important: Proper cuff size is critical to accurate

measurement.

This monitor comes with a Standard Size arm cuff that

fits arms with circumferences of 9”–13” (23 cm – 33 cm).

This cuff is suitable for your use if the colored arrow

falls within the solid color line as shown below.

If the arrow falls outside of the solid color line, you

will need a cuff with another circumference. Contact

HoMedics Consumer Relations at 1-800-466-3342.
