To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument, it is recommended that the in-
strument be used within the specified temperature and the relative humidity, please see the Techni-
cal Specifications.
The cuff is treated as the applied part. The user should contact the manufacturer for assistance, if
needed, in setting up, using or maintaining the device.
Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and adjusts to a va-
riety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength
and speed of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered. Blood ves-
sel width is controlled by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls.
Your level of
arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity: During the “blood ejec-
tion” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the heart’s “rest peri-
od” (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).
Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular diseases.
