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) blood pressure. 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 people today, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk.

Blood Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc.
Do not drop the unit. It's not shock proof.
Do not modify or disassemble the unit or the arm cuff.
Use a cloth moistened with water or neutral detergent to clean the body of the unit. Then wipe it dry

Helpful Tips
E. If it is not possible to measure on the left wrist, attach the cuff on the right wrist as shown in Fig. C
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain a more accurate reading.
A.   Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal. Please wait one hour before measuring.
B.   Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
C.   You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
D.   It is important that you relax during measurement. Take a 15-minute rest before a reading.
E.   Do not take measurements if you are under stress or feeling tense.
F.  Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
G.   If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), place it in a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
