1. INTRODUCTION
This instrument is a fully automatic digital tensometer incorporating a method of oscillometric measurement for the swift, reliable measurement of systolic, diastolic arterial pressure and heartbeat frequency.
Read the instructions for use carefully before using the device and keep for future reference. Contact your doctor if you have any further queries about arterial pressure and measuring the same.
2.VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
•Do not forget:
•This device is designed exclusively for household use. Keep out of reach of children.
•The pulse beat indicator is not suitable for measuring the frequency of a pacemaker.
•In the event of heartbeat irregularity (arrhythmia), measurements taken with this instrument should only be evaluated with medical consultation.
•There are many different causes for the appearance of high arterial pressure values. For this reason, always consult your doctor since certain illnesses may cause deviations in the measurement of arterial pressure. Never use the results of tests to change medically prescribed treatment on your own account.
Electromagnetic interference:
This device contains sensitive electronic components (microcomputer). For this reason, keep this device away from electrical or strong electromagnetic fields, e.g., mobile telephones, microwaves may lead to the temporary loss of precise measurements.
3. STANDARD VALUES
Classification table of the arterial pressure values measured in a relaxed state, in accordance with the World Health Organization (WHO):
Values | Systolic arterial pressure | Diastolic arterial pressure |
| (SYS) | (DIA) |
|
|
|
Hypotension | Below 100 | Below 60 |
Normal values | Between 100 and 140 | Between 60 and 90 |
Moderate hypertension | Between 140 and 160 | Between 90 and 100 |
Moderately serious hypertension | Between 160 and 180 | Between 100 and 110 |
Serious hypertension | Over 180 | Over 110 |
