13.Common Q & A on Blood Pressure
Q1: Why is the blood pressure value obtained at
home lower than that obtained at the hospital?
Q2: Why is the blood pressure value obtained at home
higher than that obtained at the hospital?
•DO NOT drop or place this monitor to strong shocks or
vibrations.
•DO NOT use this monitor in places with high/low humidity
and temperatures.
•Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment should be avoided because it could result in
improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment
and the other equipment should be observed to verify that
they are operating normally.
•Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those
specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment
could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and
result in improper operation.
● The blood pressure difference between home and hospital
measurements is about 20 mmHg - 30 mmHg (2.7 kPa - 4.0
kPa). This is because individuals tend to be more relaxed at
home than at the hospital.
● Also, when the device is placed at a position over the
heart, the blood pressure value tends to be much lower than
it actually is. Ensure the device is positioned right at the heart
level.
● The anti-hypertensive drug the patient might be using has
lost its efficacy. Kindly adhere to your doctor's instructions.
● The cuff might not be in the correct position. If the cuff is
not placed right, no arterial pressure value will be obtained,
and the blood pressure value might be much higher than it is.
Therefore, properly position the cuff.
