About Blood Pressure

Why Is It Important To Control My Blood Pressure?

Left uncontrolled hypertension can place an incredible amount of stress on your heart and arteries. They are both forced to work harder to keep blood flowing through your body. Over time this stress may result in health related problems including enlargement of the heart, loss of artery elasticity, heart disease, stroke or death. Making simple lifestyle changes now may help you stay healthy in the future.

Intended Use

Healthy Living blood pressure monitors are designed for home use. They are noninvasive; no part enters your body, and provide systolic, diastolic and pulse rate measurements. These monitors are recommended for use by people over 18 years of age and are not suitable for clinical use.

Measurement Method

Healthy Living monitors measure blood pressure and pulse rate by using an oscillometric method, meaning the fluctuations in pressure are measured. Once the cuff is wrapped around the upper arm, the monitor is turned on and the cuff is automatical- ly inflated. The inflation of the cuff creates pressure around the arteries inside the arm. Within the cuff is a gauge which sens- es the fluctuations (oscillations) in pressure. The fluctuations measured are the arteries contracting with each heart beat as a result of the pressure the cuff has placed on the arm. The mon- itor measures these contractions and converts the information to a digital value. That is the result displayed on the monitor screen. Once the measurement is complete the cuff will auto- matically deflate.
