Measurement Method

Healthy Living monitors measure blood pressure and pulse rate
by using an oscillometric method, meaning the fluctuations in
pressure are measured. Once the cuff is wrapped around the
upper arm, turn the monitor on and the cuff is automatically
inflated. The inflation of the cuff creates pressure around the
arteries inside the arm. Within the cuff is a gauge which sens-
es the fluctuations (oscillations) in pressure. The fluctuations
measured are the arteries contracting with each heart beat as a
result of the pressure the cuff has placed on the arm. The mon-
itor measures these contractions and converts the information
to a digital value. That is the result displayed on the monitor
screen. Once the measurement is complete the cuff will auto-
matically deflate.
