Microlife BP 3BTO-AP Инструкция по эксплуатации онлайн [5/48] 72599

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Features

Your blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device with integrated

PAD technology for use on the upper arm. This monitor enables very fast and reliable measurement of the

systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well your pulse by use of the oscillometric method.

This device is easy to use and is proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. The large display

makes it easy to visualize operational status and cuff pressure during a measurement.

Please read through this instruction manual carefully before use and then keep it in a safe place. For further

questions on the subject of blood pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.

Attention!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed with

your doctor. You should never alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your doctor.

• The pulse reading is not suitable for checking heart pacemakers!

• If you have been diagnosed with a severe Arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, measurements made with

this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.

Electromagnetic interference:

This device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in

the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens. Electrical interference can lead

to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy).

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT

2.1. How does high/low blood pressure arise?

Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory center of your brain. Your nervous system allows

your body to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations. Your body alters your pulse

and the width of blood vessels through changes in muscles in the walls of blood vessels.

Your blood pressure reading is highest when your heart pumps or ejects blood. This stage is called your

Systolic Blood Pressure. Your blood pressure is lowest when the heart rests. (in-between beats) This is

called your diastolic blood pressure.

It is critical to maintain blood pressure values within a «normal» range(s) in order to prevent particular diseases.

2.2. Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or the systolic blood

pressure is over 140 mmHg. If you obtain readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. High

blood pressure values over time damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the kidney and even your heart.

When blood-pressure values are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100 mmHg and/or diastolic values under

60 mmHg, consult your doctor.

Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is recom-

mended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.
