2.2 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 relaxed, a second reading is
taken – the diastolic pressure.
2.3 How is blood pressure measured?
The MEDISANA Upper arm blood pressure monitor with travel alarm clock SL
300 connect is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at the
upper arm. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor - already during the
inflating process of the cuff. The device detects the systole and the measurement is
completed earlier than using conventional measurement methods. As a result, an un-
necessarily excessive inflation pressure in the cuff is prevented. Additionally, your
device is able to recognize unregular heartbeat (so-called arrhythmia), which may
affect the measurements. In case an arrhythmia has been deteced, the respective sym-
bol will appear in the display of the unit (see chapter 4.4 Taking a blood pressure
measurement).
