INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE
OPERATING THE DEVICE
What is blood pressure?
A force is created by the heart as the ventricle forcibly ejects blood into the
blood vessels and through the vascular system. Another force is created
by the arteries as they resist the blood flow. Blood pressure is the result of
these two forces.
What are systolic and diastolic pressures?
Systolic pressure represents the highest pressure at the height of the
heart‘s contraction. Diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure when the
heart is resting.
Is my blood pressure normal?
See the following blood pressure classification chart released by the WHO
(World Health Organization) for evaluation of your blood pressure level.
What about low blood pressure?
Generally speaking, a lower blood pressure reading is better unless it
causes some uncomfortable symptoms such as fainting and/or lightheaded-
ness. Fluctuation and variation in blood pressure
