About Blood Pressure; Blood Pressure Standard - TechLine MG-150f Manual Del Usuario

Introduction
Blood pressure measurements determined with MG-150f 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. MG150f is to be used
only by adults for personal use.
Attention: Please read this manual carefully before use; for specific information on your
own blood pressure, contact your physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.
Real Fuzzy Technology
The MG-150f uses oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts
inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air pressure. Your MG-
150f will determine the appropriate inflation level based on one's pressure oscillations, followed by
cuff deflation. During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure
oscillations and thereby determine the systolic, diastolic and pulse for you.

About Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries.
The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic
(highest). 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 diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressure a necessity of
identifying those at risk.

Blood Pressure Standard

The World Health Organization (WHO) and National Blood Pressure Education Program
Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of
flow- and high- risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline as
individual's blood pressure varies among different people and different 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. For reliable
monitoring and reference of blood pressure it is recommended to keep long term records.
