HOW TO USE

Reading the blood pressure display

If the measured values fall within the hypertension range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user.

According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg (Sys.) and/ or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure.

English

Blood pressure readings will flash for approx. 5 seconds when in the high blood pressure range.

The range of high blood pressure is as follows:

●● Systolic blood pressure: 140 mmHg and over

●● Diastolic blood pressure: 90 mmHg and over

(mmHg) Diastolic

Hypertension

(Stage 1, Stage 2)

Prehypertension

Normal

120 140 (mmHg) Systolic

		SYS
Waking up	Going to sleep	DIA

Blood pressure is not a fixed parameter! The blood pressure fluctuations of this example of a day profile show why a single value is not suitable for diagnosis and therapy.

For people with high blood pressure a fluctuation of up to 50mmHg within the course of a day can occur.

EW-BU35 specifications

The Panasonic EW-BU35 is a cutting-edge blood pressure monitor designed to provide accurate and reliable readings with ease of use in mind. It is ideal for both home users and healthcare professionals who require precise blood pressure monitoring.

One of the standout features of the EW-BU35 is its Intelli Wrap Cuff technology, which allows users to place the cuff anywhere around the arm. This innovative design ensures that accurate readings are obtained regardless of the positioning of the cuff, eliminating the common errors associated with improper cuff placement. The cuff itself is designed to fit a wide range of arm sizes, ensuring that it accommodates most users comfortably.

The EW-BU35 employs advanced oscillometric measurement technology, enhancing the accuracy of blood pressure readings. This method detects oscillations in the arterial wall as the cuff deflates, providing reliable systolic and diastolic pressure measurements along with heart rate data. Users can trust the integrity of the readings, as the monitor is clinically validated to meet strict accuracy standards.

Another notable characteristic is the easy-to-read display. The monitor features a large LCD screen that clearly presents blood pressure and heart rate readings with large digits, allowing for easy interpretation of results. Additionally, the device automatically detects and alerts users to any irregular heartbeats, ensuring that individuals can monitor their cardiovascular health more comprehensively.

The EW-BU35 also includes a memory function that stores up to 90 readings for two different users, enabling easy tracking of individual blood pressure trends over time. This feature is particularly beneficial for those managing chronic health conditions, as it provides valuable data that can be shared with healthcare providers during consultations.

For those concerned about portability, the EW-BU35 is lightweight and compact, making it easy to store and transport. The device is powered by AAA batteries, providing convenience without the need for a power outlet, which is ideal for on-the-go monitoring.

In summary, the Panasonic EW-BU35 blood pressure monitor combines technology and user-friendly design to deliver accurate results, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to manage their blood pressure effectively. With its innovative features, accuracy, and convenience, the EW-BU35 stands out in the market of home health devices.
