Blood pressure classiﬁcation WHO

These values have been speciﬁed by the World Health Organisation (WHO)

without making any allowance for age.

Low blood pressure systolic <100 diastolic <60

Normal blood pressure (green display area )

systolic 100 - 139 diastolic 60 - 89

Forms of high blood pressure / hypertension

Mild hypertension (yellow display area )

systolic 140 – 159 diastolic 90 – 99

Moderate hypertension (orange display area )

systolic 160 – 179 diastolic 100 – 109

Severe hypertension (red display area )

systolic ≥ 180 diastolic ≥ 110

Blood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health

risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may

lead to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in trafﬁc)!

Inﬂuencing and evaluating readings

•

Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the

results. Do not draw any conclusions from a single reading. i

Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is

also familiar with your personal medical history. When using the unit regularly

and recording the values for your doctor, you should visit the doctor from time

to time to keep him updated. i

When taking readings, remember that the daily values are inﬂuenced by se-

veral factors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physical exertion

inﬂuence the measured values in various ways. i

Measure your blood pressure before meals. i

Before taking readings, allow yourself at least 5-10 minutes rest. i

If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low) on

several occasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor.

This also applies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse

prevents you from taking readings.

•

Starting up

Insert / replace batteries

You must insert the batteries provided before you can use your unit. The lid of

the battery compartment is located on the underside of the unit. Open it by

slightly pushing it and moving it upwards. Remove it and insert the 4 AA LR6

type 1.5V batteries supplied. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the batteries

(as marked inside the battery compartment). Close the battery compartment.

until the actual hour ﬁgure appears. Press SET button to conﬁrm the

hour setting and proceed in the same way for minute setting. Conclusively,

CL appears in the display. You may delete stored values at this point -

please check chapter „Memory- clear of measurements“. Press SET button

to leave the setting mode. If the batteries are changed, the set infor-

mation is lost and needs to be input again.

Fitting the cuff

Push the end piece of the air tube into the hole on the left side of the unit

prior to use. i

Slide the open end of the cuff through the metal bracket so that the Velcro

fastener is on the outside and it becomes a cylindrical form (Fig.1). Slide the

cuff over your left upper arm. i

Position the air hose in the middle of your arm in line with your middle ﬁnger

(Fig.2) (a). The lower edge of the cuff should be 2 - 3 cm above the crease of

the elbow. (b). Pull the cuff tight and close the Velcro fastener (c). i

Measure the pulse on your bare arm. i

Only position the cuff on the right arm if it cannot be used on the left arm. Al-

ways carry out measurements on the same arm. i

Correct measuring position for sitting (Fig.3).

Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason

(eg. the patient feels unwell) the START/STOP button can be pressed at

any time. The device immediately decrease the cuff pressure automatically.

Common factors of wrong measurements

•

Please keep quiet for 5-10 minutes and avoid eating,

drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing

before taking a measurement. All these factors will

inﬂuence the measurement result.

Remove any garment that ﬁts closely to your

upper arm.

Always measure on the same arm (normally left).

Measurements should be taken regularly at the

same time of each day, as the blood pressure varies

even during the day.

Any effort to support the arm during measurement

may increase the measured blood pressure.

Make sure, you are in a comfortable, relaxed posi-

tion and do not move or constrict your muscles

during measurement. Use a cushion to support your

arm if necessary.

If the arm artery lies lower or higher than the heart,

a false reading will be obtained.

A loose or open cuff causes false readings.

With repeated measurements , blood accumulates

in the arm which can lead to false reading.

Consecutive blood pressure measurements should

be repeated after 1 minute pause or after the

arm has been held up in order to allow the

accumulated blood to ﬂow away.

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat.

When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings

about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure

and is the ﬁrst value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take

in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are re-

laxed, a second reading is taken – the diastolic pressure.

How is blood pressure measured?

The MEDISANA BU 514 is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure

blood pressure at the upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a micro-

processor, which, via a pressure sensor, measures the vibrations resulting from

the inﬂation and deﬂation of the cuff over the artery.
