The systolic (‘the high blood pressure’) states the pressure when the heart
chambers contract to send blood through your body, and the systolic (‘the low
blood pressure’) states the pressure when the heart is at ease and filling with
blood before the next muscle contraction. The connection between values
(mmHg) is expressed as e.g. 130 over 85 which means that the systolic
pressure is 130 and the diastolic pressure is 85.
Why is it important to keep an eye on your blood pressure?
Many of today’s most common diseases are connected to hypertension , also
referred to as ‘high blood pressure’. Hypertension is closely connected to
cardiovascular diseases, and for people in the danger zone the blood pressure
provides an important tool to keep an eye on the development.
Standard for blood pressure
The WHO blood pressure standard defines the areas for high and low blood
pressure. The standard is for guidance only as individual blood pressure levels
vary from person to person, across age groups, etc.

HoMedics Blood Pressure Monitor
Before use
Before the blood pressure monitor is taken into use a number of basic steps
should be observed. Please read this manual thoroughly before the blood
pressure monitor is used for the first time and keep the manual for future use.
The blood pressure monitor is intended for home use only. Any measurement is
solely for information and can under no circumstances replace a visit to the
doctor. The blood pressure measurements should always be assessed by a
qualified person (a doctor, nurse or similar) who is familiar with the user’s
general medical condition. By regular use and by keeping a record of the
results, this person can be kept well informed about developments in the user’s
blood pressure. Measurements must never be interpreted by the user with the
aim of changing levels in the use of medicine as prescribed by a doctor, but the
doctor’s instructions must be followed AT ALL TIMES.
The blood pressure monitor is not suited for users who suffer from arrhythmia
(heart rhythm disturbances) and errors may occur in the measurement results if
the user has suffered a stroke, suffers from cardiovascular diseases, has a very
low blood pressure, or suffers from other symptoms such as circulatory
diseases (diabetes, kidney diseases, arterial sclerosis (deposits in the arteries),
or poor peripheral blood circulation (e.g. in hands and feet).
Electromagnetic disturbances: The device contains sensitive electronic
components. Keep it clear of strong electric or electromagnetic fields in the
immediate surroundings (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens) as these
may temporarily reduce measurement accuracy.
Use the blood pressure monitor only for its original purpose.
The device is intended for measurement of blood pressure and pulse with adult
persons (over 18 years of age). Do not apply the monitor to infants nor to persons
who cannot express their permission. The device must not be operated by children.
The blood pressure monitor functions in accordance with the oscillometric
measurement principle. These blood pressure changes are measured in the
cuff on the basis of the wrist pulse and are converted into a numerical value of
the current blood pressure. Simultaneously, the number of pulse beats are
registered and calculated as number of pulse beats per minute.
There are two kinds of discernable blood pressures. Both are expressed in
mmHg (millimeters on the mercury column): The systolic and the diastolic.

Blood pressure levels and categories for adults
The standard is valid for nonmedicated persons over 18 years of age who do
not suffer from serious short term diseases or other diseases such as diabetes
or kidney diseases. If the reading falls inside two groups (e.g. the systolic
number within grade 2 and the diastolic number within grade 1), the highest
number is used for classification (and the example thus falls within grade 2).
