How does the measurement work?
Your blood pressure device contains highly technical
components which measure your blood pressure and
display the results on the screen. The unit also measures
and displays your pulse frequency.
The unit measures blood pressure indirectly using a
sleeve around the wrist. Inflating the sleeve presses the
arteries together so that no more blood can flow
through them. If the pressure in the sleeve is then
reduced, this creates a relation between the sleeve
pressure and the blood pressure.
The unit has electronic step valves that can detect even
slight changes during the measurement, which can be
evened out using the sleeve pressure. By reducing the
pressure step-by-step, fluctuations in the sleeve are
recorded by the unit and included in the assessment. If
no fluctuations are recorded for a step, the air pressure
is reduced. Existing fluctuations are assessed at the
corresponding step level until they can be determined
precisely.
