[. . . ] It is not the average of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure; rather, MAP corresponds to a state of balance between the compressive and expansive forces acting on the arterial wall when there is no distension outward or inward. MAP is an excellent way to evaluate the stress on the walls of your blood vessels, and can be used to evaluate excessive load on the cardiovascular system. Show your MAP history to your doctor to provide additional information that may help him or her understand your situation. Blood pressure measurement can highly reflect one's health condition. High blood pressure is potentially linked to serious illnesses such as stroke, heart disease and kidney failure. Since there is no symptom most of the time, many hypertensive 4 people do not realize they are at risk until their health is seriously threatened. The following chart (Figure 3) was taken from the World Health Organization (WHO), and describes the various classifications. · Blood pressure is considered high when either the diastolic or systolic blood pressure value exceeds the normal range. · Only a physician can tell you your normal blood pressure range and the point at which you are at risk. If the measurements taken with this product fall outside the range, consult your physician.

Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest during sleep. Figure 4 below illustrates the variations over a single day with measurement taken every five minutes. The rises in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12AM (B in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain and sexual intercourse (Beven, Honour & Stott, Clin. 36:329, 1969). 160 140 A B BLOOD PRESSURE 120 (mmHg) 100 80 60 40 20 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (high pressure) diastolic over 95 Sleep 9 10 11 PM Time AM Figure 4 diastolic (mmHg) systolic under 90 systolic under 139 HOW THE BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect your blood pressure. Before every measurement, the main unit establishes a "zero pressure" equivalent to the air pressure. Then it starts inflating the wrist cuff to 180mmHg or higher until it senses that it has blocked your blood in the artery. After that, EN EN the deflation process starts, during which time the main unit detects pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine the systolic, mean and diastolic pressure, and also your pulse rate. Any motion during this period will result in an incorrect measurement. After all readings are determined and displayed on LCD, the measurement is finished and the wrist cuff automatically deflates. NOTE · Replace the batteries whenever the weak battery mark ( ) shows, the display is dim, or the display does not illuminate when the power is on. Replace all the batteries at the same time ­ it is dangerous to mix old and new batteries. [. . . ] No measurements have been taken. Reset the measurement unit (P6).

The CE mark further indicates that this blood pressure monitor meets the general requirements for electronic products as regards to resistance to electromagnetic interference. Malfunctioning may however occur in the proximity of extremely strong electromagnetic fields. [. . . ]
