[. . . ] Blood pressure readings from a healthy 31-year old male, measured at 5-minute intervals Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions. Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor's office. Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual «everyday» conditions. [. . . ] The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse. Blood pressure (mmHg) SYS = systole = upper value DIA = diastole = lower value To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read these use instructions. People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases. If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor first. The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor. Use alkaline batteries, type LR 03 (AAA) as supplied with this product. Remove the battery compartment cover (F) and insert two batteries with correct polarity (see symbol in the battery compartment (E)). They should not be disposed of in the household waste, but at appropriate collection sites or at your retailer. Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under the same conditions. Otherwise the device automatically turns off after 2 minutes and activates the settings made so far. If used according to the use instructions, periodic re-calibration is not required. If at any time you question the measuring accuracy, please call at 1-888-848-2572. ­­­ While measuring (during deflation of the cuff), you can hear a clicking sound with every detected heartbeat. Inflation above 320 mmHg The device works with a special deflation procedure (stepwise deflation). Model: Operation principle: Display: Measuring range: Blood pressure measurement: Laboratory accuracy: BP 1000 / BP1600 Oscillometric method Liquid Crystal Display 0­320 mmHg (cuff pressure) 40­199 / min (pulse rate) 20 mmHg (minimum diastolic value) 300 mmHg (maximum systolic value) ± 3 mmHg (cuff pressure) ± 5 % of reading (pulse rate) 11 According to AAMI-SP10 with auscultatory reference: < 5 mmHg systematic offset < 8 mmHg standard deviation Automatic Step valve 2 batteries, type LR 03 (AAA) + 10 °C to + 40 °C ­ 20 °C to + 60 °C Up to 85% RH Suitable for wrist circumference of 13 to 21 cm According to AAMI-SP10 with auscultatory reference. (Please note that a validation against intra-arterial measurements can lead to different results for devices which are calibrated against auscultatory reference. If device is not used within specified temperature and humidity ranges the technical accuracy can not be ensured. Type BF equipment Blood pressure measurements determined with this device 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.
