Page 8: How Ua-789 Works
HoW Ua-789 WorKS LifeSource® blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. -
Page 9: Selecting The Correct Cuff Size
Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. -

Page 19: About Blood Pressure
What is Blood pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). What affects Blood pressure? Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season. -

Page 21: What Is Hypertension
What is Hypertension? Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when read- ings consistently rise above normal. It is well known that hyperten- sion can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early. - Page 22 Keys to Successful monitoring: Blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day. We recommend that you are consistent in your daily measurement routine: • Measure at the same time every day. • Sit in the same chair/position. • Do not cross legs and keep your feet flat on the floor. • Relax for 5 minutes before measurement. • Use the correct cuff size to get an accurate reading. • Sit still during measurement – no talking, eating or sudden movements. • Record your measurement in a logbook.

- Page 23 Establishing Baseline measurements The most important method to get an accurate blood pressure mea- surement is consistency. To get the most benefit out of your monitor, it is important to establish a “baseline measurement.” This helps build a foundation of measurements that you can use to compare against future readings.
