Q & A

QWhy are the blood pressure values measured at home different from those measured at the doctor’s office?

ABlood pressure varies in a 24-hour period.

In addition, it can vary greatly depending on the weather, your mental state, amount of exercise, etc.

In particular, there is the phenomenon of “White uniform hypertension” at doctor’s offices, where the blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office is higher because of stress or anxiety.

In addition, if the blood pressure measured at home is sometimes higher and sometimes lower than the blood pressure measured at the doctor’s office, the following can be considered. Please pay attention to these points when taking measurements.

1Measuring posture was poor.

Did you take measurements while leaning forward with your body at an angle?

2Measurements were not taken at the upper arm.

Please take measurements with your elbow in the arm support of the main unit. (See pages 15–17.)

3Were you anxious or upset during measurements?

Before taking measurements, take 2 or 3 deep breaths and relax, so that your blood pressure stabilizes.

QWhy do the main unit and the wireless display operate together even when they are separated?

AThe main unit and the wireless display communicate using infrared rays. Infrared rays are transmitted from the transmitter on the side panel of the main unit, and reflected on your body and then received on the bottom of the front panel of the wireless display.

Q Themark does not light when an arm is moved.

A The mark is a function to notify you that your arm is bent or to indicate extra loads on the pressure cuff.

Therefore, it may not indicate motion (bending an arm slightly, etc.). If you are concerned about the result, retry the measurement.
