What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force that is exerted by blood pushing against the walls of the blood vessels throughout the body. The heart is the center of the circulatory system. The heart provides the force that allows the blood to circulate. Blood is forced through blood vessels increasing the pressure during every heartbeat, marking the highest point of pressure in the cycle known as the systolic pressure. The lowest point occurs between beats while the heart rests, this point during the decrease in pressure is referred to as diastolic pressure. This complete series of events, which occurs in a single heartbeat, is known as the cardiac cycle. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters (mm) of Mercury (Hg). These two measurements are commonly noted with the systolic pressure first, followed by a slash and the diastolic pressure – i.e.120/80, or‘120 over 80’.

How can home monitoring help?

Physician office visits can be stressful for a patient. A temporary occurrence of elevated blood pressure at the physician’s office is commonly referred to as “White Coat Syndrome”. Home blood pressure monitoring provides an avenue to supplement physicians’ office measurements. Home readings can show an accurate indication of blood pressure when taken over a period of time. These records can assist in evaluating your health and in making important decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of a condition when used in conjunction with physician care and evaluation.

What is high blood pressure?

Many factors can influence blood pressure measurements – genetics, age, sex, physical activity, anxiety, muscular development, certain medications, altitude, or even the time of day. Generally, high blood pressure is blood pressure that is consistently elevated above 140/90 mmHg. Standards for the assessment of high or low blood pressure have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO) as shown in the following chart. Veridian Healthcare blood pressure monitors include comparison charts to the WHO standards for your reference. This chart is only a general guideline. Your physician or trained healthcare professional will help determine your individual normal blood pressure range. Category SYSTOLIC (mmHg) DIASTOLIC(mmHg) Optimal <120 <80 Normal 120-129 80-84 High Normal 130-139 85-89 Stage 1 - Mild Borderline Hypertension 140-159 90-99 Stage 2 - Moderate Hypertension 160-179 100-109 Stage 3 - Severe Hypertension ≥180 ≥110 Isolated Systolic Hypertension ≥140 140-159 160-179 ≥180 <90 <90 <90 <90

How accurate is a manual home blood pressure monitor?

Veridian Healthcare Blood Pressure Monitors are designed to meet the exacting standards set by the various regulatory bodies that govern all blood pressure monitors including those found in your physician’s office. In order to ensure the accuracy of your measurements, it is strongly suggested to read the complete guidebook and other support materials and follow the recommended operating conditions for the unit including the suitable arm/wrist circumference range for the cuff.

Are manual inflate digital blood pressure monitors as accurate as automatic inflate monitors?

Yes, both styles comply with the same stringent accuracy standards. The only the difference is the way the unit is inflated.

How often and when should I measure my blood pressure?

It is recommended that you consult with your healthcare professional for the time and frequency that is best suited for you. It is important to take your readings at similar times and conditions when monitoring on a daily basis. This will allow for a reliable comparison of your readings.

Why are my home blood pressure readings different from my doctor’s readings?

Many factors affect blood pressure. The anxiousness about a doctor’s visit may cause the common condition referred to as“White Coat Syndrome”, which typically produces a higher than “normal” blood pressure reading. Other factors, including the time of day, can influence blood pressure reading results.

How long should I wait between measurements?

It is important to wait for a minimum of 15 minutes between readings. The wait time may vary depending on individual physiological characteristics.

What happens if I do not place the cuff at heart level?

If the cuff is not at heart level, readings will be affected producing inaccurate measurements.

Does age affect blood pressure?

Many factors such as age, genetics, sex, altitude, physical activity, muscular development, certain medications, or even the time of day can influence blood pressure.

Which arm should I use to take my blood pressure?

Your blood pressure unit and accompanying detailed instruction guidebook are designed for left-arm use. If you are unable to or do not want to use your left arm, modify the instructions for right arm/wrist use. The same arm should be used for all readings to ensure reliable comparisons.

What should I do if my arm circumference is outside of the stated cuff size range?

The prescribed range for your blood pressure monitor is included on the specifications page of your instruction guidebook. Reading accuracy can be affected if an improperly sized cuff is used. Most models offer additional cuff sizes available for purchase. Please check the instruction manual with your blood pressure monitor for further details.

Can I use a blood pressure monitor while exercising?

No, movement, vibrations, or other activity will interfere with the reading and likely cause an error or inaccurate reading. You should always rest a minimum of 15 minutes prior to taking a reading.

Can I use a blood pressure monitor in moving vehicles?

No, it is not recommended to use a blood pressure monitor in moving vehicles because movement, vibrations, or other activity will interfere with the reading and likely cause an error or inaccurate reading.

Is a blood pressure monitor waterproof?

Gauges are not waterproof. Please refer to the detailed instructions manual for care and maintenance instructions. It is strongly recommended that the unit be stored and operated within the conditions expressed in the product user manual.

How to Wear the Blood Pressure Cuff

Note: make sure to use the appropriate cuff size before applying.

Remove any clothing or jewelry that could interfere with the placement of the cuff.
Sit on a table or desk with your feet flat on the floor.
Extend your left arm and find your brachial artery (located at the inner aspect of your elbow). You should be able to feel your pulse. Proper application means the cuff’s artery patch is pointed to your brachial artery.
Open the cuff to create a circle that you can slide your arm into but do not extend beyond the metal bar.
Insert your left arm into the cuff. Position the cuff’s bottom edge approximately ½ inch above your elbow. When taking a reading, the stethoscope chestpiece should directly touch the inside of your arm over your brachial artery.
With your arm extended, palm facing upward, and the tubes positioned down the center of your arm, pull the cuff’s end and secure the hook and loop material using your right hand. Ensure that the artery mark is still pointed to your brachial artery.
Make sure the cuff snugly fits around your arm in that you can insert one finger easily between the cuff and your arm.

How to Take Your Blood Pressure Reading

Patient – Applying the Cuff and Positioning the Arm

Make sure to carefully follow the instructions on How to Wear the Blood Pressure Cuff.
Position your elbow on a table with your arm and palm facing upward.
Elevate your hand so your wrist will be on the same level as your heart. Relax your hands.

Caregiver – Preparations in Taking the Measurement

Sit in the front and at the same level as your patient.
Place the ear tips of the stethoscope in your ears and position the chestpiece on the inside of your patient’s arm. Chestpiece must be partially under the cuff and over the patient’s brachial artery.
Hold the gauge in your hand or position it in an area where it can be read without being moved (e.g. thick notebook or folded towel).
On your free hand, hold the inflation bulb and turn the air release valve in a clockwise direction to close.
Start inflating the cuff slowly and consistently by pumping the inflation bulb until the gauge reads s 30 mmHG ABOVE the previous SYSTOLIC measurement. If you are not aware of the previous SYSTOLIC measurement, inflate the cuff between 180-200 mmHg. DO NOT inflate over 280 mmHg.
As you reach the proper inflation level, slowly and steadily turn the air release valve counterclockwise at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
As pressure drops, listen closely for the pulse beat while watching the gauge at the same time. the first thumping sound you will hear is the SYSTOLIC pressure.
Let the cuff continue to deflate. You will hear changes in the sound until there is no sound at all. As soon as you hear the last sound, not the reading measurement which is the DIASTOLIC pressure.
Immediately turn the valve in a counterclockwise direction to deflate the remaining air. Remove the cuff and record the measurement on the chart included in the package.

Care Instructions

Do not any liquid get in contact with the gauge and cuff.
Do not store in direct sunlight, excessive humidity, or dust.
Do not place or use in areas with extreme temperatures.
Avoid dropping or hitting the gauge or stethoscope chestpiece on hard surfaces.
