Important Information On Blood Pressure And Its Measurement; How Does High/Low Blood Pressure Arise; Which Values Are Normal - ADC 6021 Manual Del Usuario

2. Important Information on Blood Pre s s u re and its Measure m e n t
2.1. How does high or low blood pre s s u re arise?
Your level of blood pre s s u re is determined in the circ u l a t o ry center of the brain and adjusts to
a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pre s s u re ,
the strength and speed of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circ u l a t o ry blood vessels is
a l t e red. Blood vessel width is controlled by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls.
Your level of arterial blood pre s s u re changes periodically during heart activity: During the
"blood ejection" (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pre s s u re value). At the end of
the heart ' s "rest period" (Diastole) pre s s u re is lowest (diastolic blood pre s s u re value).
Blood pre s s u re values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent part i c u l a r
d i s e a s e s .
2.2. Which values are norm a l ?
Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or your
systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this case, please consult
your physician immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to
continual damage to the blood vessels in your body.
If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 159mmHg and/or the
diastolic blood pressure values between 90 mmHg and 99mmHg, consult your
physician. Regular self-checks are necessary.
If you have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic values under 105mmHg
and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician.
Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure
monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early and
react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record of
values along with time of day and date. Show these values to your physician. Never
use the results of your measurements to independently alter the drug
doses prescribed by your physician.

Si ocurre un error durante la medición, la misma será descontinuada y el código de erro r
se observará en la pantalla. Recomendamos apagar el dispositivo y efectuar una nueva
medición, siempre y cuando usted se tome el tiempo necesario para relajarse. (ej. Err 3 )

POSIBLES CAUSA(S)/SOLUCIONES
El tubo pudo haberse aflojado, no se
detectó pulso. Asegúrece de que las conecciones
del brazalete estén en posición correcta. Vea la
sección (5.3)
Impulsos no naturales. Razón: El brazo se movió
durante la medición. (art e f a c t o )
Vuelva a repetir la medición, mantenga el brazo
i n m o v i l .
Repita la medición manteniendo el brazo
Inmóvil. Si el inflado del brazalete toma
mucho tiempo, el mismo no está correctamente puesto
o la conección del tubo no está bien ajustada. Chequee
las conecciones y repita el Pro c e d i m i e n t o .
La diferencia estre sistólica y diastólica es excesiva.
Mídase otra vez siguiendo cuidadosamente las
i n s t rucciones del brazalete y que el procedimiento se
realice en un ambiente de calma.*
La presión del brazalete es muy alta. Relájese por 5
minutos y repita el pro c e d i m i e n t o . *
El pulso es muy bajo (menos de 40). Repita el
procedimiento.*
