Algemene informatie over bloeddruk

Bloedsomloop

Via de bloedsomloop wordt het lichaam van zuurstof voorzien. De bloeddruk is de druk op de aderen.

De waarde voor de systolische bloeddruk (bovendruk of bovenste waarde) is gelijk aan de bloeddruk die ontstaat wanneer de hartspier samentrekt.

De waarde voor de diasystolische bloeddruk (onderdruk of onderste waarde) is gelijk aan de bloeddruk die ontstaat wanneer de hartspier ontspant.

Classificatie van bloeddruk

De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WGO) en de International Society of Hypertension (ISH) hebben een classificatie van bloeddruk samengesteld. Deze classificatie is gebaseerd op de bloeddrukwaarden die werden gemeten bij een patiënt die op een stoel zat in de poliklinische afdeling van een ziekenhuis.

RX-3 specifications

The Omron RX-3 is an advanced blood pressure monitor designed to provide reliable and accurate readings for users seeking to manage their cardiovascular health effectively. This device integrates innovative technologies that enhance user experience while ensuring precise measurements.

One of the standout features of the RX-3 is its IntelliSense technology, which automatically applies the right amount of pressure to the cuff for optimal accuracy. This means users no longer have to manually inflate or over-inflate the cuff, leading to a more comfortable measurement process. The device is equipped with a large, easy-to-read LCD screen that displays results clearly, making it accessible for users of all ages.

The RX-3 also incorporates a unique averaging feature. After three consecutive measurements, the device provides an average reading, which gives users a more comprehensive view of their blood pressure trends. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals who need to monitor their levels regularly, as it reduces the impact of irregular readings caused by stress or anxiety.

In terms of design, the RX-3 is compact and portable, making it easy to use at home or on the go. It comes with a clinically validated cuff that fits a wide range of arm sizes, ensuring that all users can achieve accurate results regardless of their body type. Additionally, the device is powered by long-lasting batteries, which are both economically and environmentally friendly.

Another significant feature of the RX-3 is its memory function. The device can store multiple readings, allowing users to track their blood pressure over time. This feature is especially useful for healthcare providers who can review a patient's measurements during check-ups, providing a clear picture of their health trends.

The device is also designed with the user’s convenience in mind, including features like a one-button operation, which simplifies the measurement process, making it accessible for those who may not be tech-savvy.

In conclusion, the Omron RX-3 blood pressure monitor is a state-of-the-art device that combines advanced technologies, user-friendly design, and key features that empower individuals to maintain their cardiovascular health. Whether you are at home or traveling, the RX-3 offers a reliable solution for effective blood pressure management.
