3. How to Take Proper Measurements For best accuracy in blood pressure measurement: • Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table. • Relax for about 5 to 10 minutes before measurement. • Raise your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. • Remain still and keep quiet during measurement. • Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. We recommend you to rest 20 or 30 minutes before taking measurement. • Measure your blood pressure at about the same time every day. 4.
Measurements Note: The UB-510, once used, will provide an inflation appropriate to the user, based on the previous measurement. Normal Measurement 1. Sit comfortably with the cuff at the same level as your heart and relax. 2. Press the START button. The average recorded blood pressures and data number are displayed briefly. Then the display changes as indicated in the figure on the right as measurement begins. The cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
Notes For Proper Measurement Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart. Relax for about five or ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
What Is An Irregular Heartbeat? Model UB-510 blood pressure monitor provides a blood pressure and pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is important that you be relaxed, remain still and do not talk during measurements. Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this indicator frequently.
WHO Classification Indicator Each six segments of the bar indicator correspond to the WHO blood pressure classification described on the next page. Example WHO Classification Indicator Severe hypertension Mild Moderate High normal hypertension hypertension Moderate hypertension Mild hypertension High normal Normal Optimal : The indicator displays a segment, based on the current data, corresponding to the WHO classification.
To prevent hypertension or keep it under control: Do not smoke Exercise regularly Reduce salt and fat intake Have regular physical checkups Maintain proper weight Why Measure Blood Pressure At Home? Blood pressure measured at a clinic or doctor's office may cause apprehension and can produce an elevated reading, 25 to 30 mmHg higher than that measured at home.
