How To Take Proper Measurements

For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
Sit comfortably on a chair. Rest your arm on the table. Do not cross your legs.
Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back.
Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
Do not measure immediately after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or
thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.

Notes For Proper Measurement

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement
on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height
as your heart.
Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are
excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stressas a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading
will usually be faster than normal.
Your blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are doing andwhat you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect on
your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak or
irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your bloodpressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop themeasurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4 for the descriptions of
the symbols.
This blood pressure device is intended for use by adults only. Consult with yourphysician before using this device on a child. A child should not use this device
unattended.

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat?
Model UA-705 provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even whenan irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat thatvaries by 25% from the average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure
measurement. It is important that you are relaxed, remain still and do not talk during
measurements.
indicator frequently.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see thisAbout Blood Pressure
What Is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolicpressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart
expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's
natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental pressure, which ismeasured first thing in the morning while one is still at rest nd before eating.

English10

What Is Hypertension And How Is It Controlled?

Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left unattended, can cause
many health problems including stroke and heart attack. Hypertension can be controlled
by altering one's lifestyle, avoiding stress, and with medication under a doctor’s
supervision. To prevent hypertension or to keep it under control:
Do not smoke
Exercise regularly
Reduce salt and fat intake
Have regular physical checkups
Maintain proper weight

Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home?

Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension andcan produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that measured at home.
Home measurement reduces the effects of outside influences on blood pressure
readings, supplements the doctor's readings and provides a more accurate, complete
blood pressure history.

WHO Blood Pressure
Classification

Standards to assess high bloodpressure, without regard to age,have been established by theWorld Health Organization (WHO),as shown in the chart on the right.

Blood Pressure Variations

An individual’s blood pressure
varies greatly on a daily andseasonal basis. It may vary by 30 to 50 mmHg
due to various conditions during the day. In
hypertensive individual variations are even more
pronounced. Normally, the blood pressure rises
while at work or play and falls to its lowest levels
duringsleep. So, do not be overly concerned by the
results of one measurement.
Take measurements at the same time every day
using the procedure described in this manual to get to know your normal bloodpressure. Regular readings give a more comprehensive blood pressure history. Be
sure to note date and time when recording your blood pressure. Consult your doctor tointerpret your blood pressure data.
