? SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE HOW UA-767 PLUS WORKS LifeSource® blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat.
TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring: ☞ Relax for about 5 minutes before measurement. ☞ Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to measurement. ☞ Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm. ☞ Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure. ☞ Do not talk during measurement. ☞ Do not cross legs and keep you feet flat on floor during measurement. 5.

ABOUT MEMORY This monitor automatically stores up to thirty (30) blood pressure and pulse measurements in memory. Measurements stored in memory are assigned an index number in the order of the newest to the oldest. The oldest reading displays as "n01". The M symbol in the upper left corner of the display screen indicates that you are viewing a previous measurement stored in memory. To retrieve readings, follow these simple steps: 1.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What Is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). What Affects Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season. Certain activities can significantly alter one’s blood pressure.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What Is Hypertension? Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings consistently rise above normal. It is well known that hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early.
TROUBLESHOOTING ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Establishing Baseline Measurements The most important method to get an accurate blood pressure measurement is consistency. To get the most benefit out of your monitor, it is important to establish a “baseline measurement.” This helps build a foundation of measurements that you can use to compare against future readings. To build this baseline measurement, devote two weeks for consistent blood pressure monitoring.
