Q&A

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

ABlood pressure varies 24 hours a day.

In addition, it can change greatly depending on the weather, your mental state, exercise, etc. . In particular, there is the phenomenon of “White coat hypertension” at doctor’s offices, where the blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office is higher because of stress or worry.

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.

1. Is the cuff wrapped firmly?

●● Make sure that the cuff is not wrapped too loosely or too tightly.

●● Is the cuff wrapped around the upper arm? Make sure it is not partly covering the elbow. See page 8 for how to wrap the cuff correctly.

2. Were you worried or upset during measurements?

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

QWhen should I measure my blood pressure? A We recommend three measurements a day.

First

Upon Waking (Because, with almost no influence from body movement, the

 

blood pressure is closest to that at night.)

Second ...

Before Lunch (Because, with no influence from the meal, it provides blood

 

pressure values close to the highest of the day.)

Third

At Bedtime (So as to obtain data close to your average blood pressure values

 

during the day.)

This way, by taking measurements morning, noon and night, you can use the unit to learn the patterns of and monitor your blood pressure.

●● Use of the "Comparing with Old Measurement" function can aid in the detection of a blood pressure pattern known as “early morning surge” in which blood pressure rises rapidly in the morning. (See page 18.)

QSince the indicator was displayed, I retried the measurement by setting my arm in the proper position. But the indicated value is still higher than usual.

AThe indicator is just a guide for the proper measurement method.

If you correct your posture when the indicator is displayed but the measured value is still higher or lower than usual, retry the measurement.

The following causes are suspected.

●● Did you measure properly (in proper posture)? ●● Measure as indicated on pages 12–13.

●● Measured immediately after smoking. ●● Measured when irritated or emotional. ●● Measured in cold environments.

●● For persons who have a physical constitution with less fluctuation in the pulse rate.

●● If you are concerned about the results, retry the measurement after staying quiet for 4 to 5 minutes.

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.
