This fully automatic, wrist mounted device is both easy to use and ideally suited for daily measurements. The large display includes systolic, diastolic and pulse measurements, all clearly shown at the completion of each reading. In addition, you can store up to 90 measurements using the monitor’s built-in memory feature, ideal for users who want to monitor and track their blood pressure on a regular basis. The Health o meter ® blood pressure monitor is compact and portable, making it ideal for both home and travel usage. Blood pressure measurements determined with the Health o meter ® blood pressure monitor are equivalent to those using the cuff/ stethoscope auscultation method and are within the limits prescribed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This monitor is to be used by an adult and is intended for in-home use. Note: Please read this manual carefully before use. information about your own blood pressure, contact Please be sure to keep this manual for future 4 Standards of Quality This Blood Pressure Monitor conforms with the American National Standards Institute/American Association of Medical Instrumentation Standards for Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitors. In addition, the device complies with the European regulations and bears the CE mark “CE 0366”. The quality of the device has been verified and conforms to the provisions of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC dated 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices, as well as the EMC directive 89/336/EEC: ANSI/AAMI SB10 Electronic or automated Sphygmomanometers EN 1060-1 (Dec. 1995) Non-invasive blood pressure measuring equipment General requirements EN 1060-3 (Feb. 1997) Non-invasive blood pressure measuring equipment Supplementary requirements for electromechanical blood pressure measuring systems About the Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Your Health o meter ® blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish cuff pressure, which is equivalent to the air pressure. The measurement of your blood pressure is based on this baseline pressure. Once the cuff inflates passage of blood in the artery, the deflation process begins. During the deflation of the wrist cuff, the unit is detecting the pressure oscillations generated between beats of the pulse. Any muscle movement during this period of time error. After detecting the amplitude and the slope of the pressure the deflation process, your Health o meter ® monitor will determine the systolic and diastolic pressures for you, your pulse rate is ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure flows through the artery. The pressure measured blood out of the heart pressure measured when the heart is called “diastolic” (lowest number) blood 6 Why Measure Your Blood Pressure? Various health problems associated to high blood pressure are quite common with people in today’s society. There is a significant correlation of high blood pressure with cardiovascular disease.
