What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the blood
pressure reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is called
systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure
reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic
pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The chart below is the standard
blood
pressure
published by the American Heart
Association (AHA).
Note: Only a physician can tell you
your normal BP range. Please contact
a physician if your measuring result
falls out of the range. Please note
that only a physician can discern
whether your blood pressure value
has reached a dangerous point.
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of Irregular Heartbeat
(IHB) Detector. During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and
works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, the IHB
symbol
will display on the screen along with the measuring results.
Note: The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with
an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for
concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice.
Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse
irregularities at an early stage.
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies often in one day. It is also affected by the way you tie your
cuff and your measurement position. Taking the measurement under the same conditions
each time is recommended to avoid fluctuations.
2. Blood pressure readings will generally vary greater if the person takes medication.
3. Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements to allow blood circulation to recover.
Why is the blood pressure I get from the hospital different from home?
The blood pressure is different even within 24 hours because of the weather, emotion,
exercise, etc. Especially, the "white coat" in the hospital usually makes the results higher
than the readings taken at home.
Will the result be the same when measuring on the right arm?
It is OK for both arms, but there may be some different results for some people. Therefore, it
is recommended that you measure the same arm every time.
