This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to page 4 for the
descriptions of the symbols.
This blood pressure device is intended for use by adults only. Consult
with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not
use this device unattended.
What Is An Irregular Heartbeat?
Model UA-704 blood pressure monitor provides a blood pressure and
pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An
irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the
average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is
important that you are relaxed, remain still and do not talk during
measurements.
Note: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
frequently.
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). One's natural blood pressure is
represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in
the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.
What Is Hypertension And How Is It Controlled?
Hypertension, an abnormally high arterial blood pressure, if left
unattended, can cause many health problems including stroke and heart
attack. Hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle, avoiding stress,
and with medication under a doctor's supervision.
