See Page 23 6 How the 1140 Works Your model 1140 uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure, which is equivalent to the air pressure. The measurement of your blood pressure is based on this baseline 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 the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity of identifying those at risk. 8 Blood Pressure Standard The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of lowand high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc. It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk. Blood Pressure Fluctuation Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! 9 You should not be overly worried if you encounter two or three measurements at high levels.
