Pulse Rate

This blood pressure monitor also measures your pulse rate. Your pulse reflects your

heart rate and is measured in terms of the numbers of beats per minute. Pulse rate

varies from minute to minute, and is affected by many things, including exercise,

stress, anxiety, certain medicines and some foods.

Why is it beneficial to measure your blood pressure at home?

Monitoring your blood pressure at home gives you the advantage of taking blood

pressure measurements at fixed times of the day, in familiar surroundings, without

external influences. As a variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single

measurement is not sufficient for an accurate diagnosis. Home monitoring enables

measurements to be taken over the course of weeks and helps to identify an

ongoing trend.

Here are a few tips to help you obtain more accurate measurements:

Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and varies throughout the day. The

measurements that you obtain from this blood pressure monitor will differ as a

result.

• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or

her physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one

hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or

caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.

• Before measurement, it's suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes

as measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy.

You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.

• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.

• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.

• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold

or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.

• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed

at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.

• Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
