Correct Measuring Posture 17 Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken as Fig. C 18 More Accurate by Using Step Valve Technology The new Lumiscope 1140 Blood Pressure Monitor incorporates cutting-edge Step Valve Technology, resulting in greater measurement accuracy. Step valve technology uses an electronic valve system as opposed to the traditional mechanical valve system, allowing the monitor to analyze oscillations during measurement and adjust cuff pressure accordingly. Adjustments in cuff pressure occur in steps and result in an audible ticking as the valve releases air from within the cuff. Releasing pressure in steps allows the monitor to analyze oscillations within the cuff and evaluate them for accuracy. When the monitor does not detect oscillations for a particular step, it releases air pressure. If the monitor detects oscillations, it will continue to evaluate at that particular step until it confirms the accuracy of those oscillations. The monitor's ability to detect and analyze oscillations at each step and adjust cuff pressure accordingly results in the monitor's increased measurement accuracy. Helpful Tips 19 Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings: · Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring. · Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure. · You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement. · It is important that you relax during measurement. Take a 15-minute rest before taking a reading.
