Braun upper arm blood pressure monitor has been developed for accurate and comfortable
blood pressure measurements. The measuring accuracy of Braun's upper arm blood pressure
monitor was tested at the time of manufacture and was proven by clinical research in accor-
dance with AAMi/AnSi-SP10.
What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. it rises sharply in the early morning
and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and finally
drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings
from successive measurements can fluctuate.
Blood pressure readings taken from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a momentary value. repeated
measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood pressure values under everyday
conditions.
Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at home, because
they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor's office. regular blood pressure mea-
surements taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal
blood pressure values under actual «everyday» conditions.
The world Health organisation (wHo) has set up the following standard blood pressure values
when measured at resting pulse:
Blood Pressure
(mmHg)
SYS = systole (upper value)
DiA = diastole (lower value)
