The signal on the LCD display disappears automatically after about 8 seconds. FLucTuATIonS IN BLOOD PRESSURE All physical activities, agitation, stress, eating, drinking, smoking, body posture and many more (including the blood pressure measurement itself), affect the pressure values. For these reasons, it is basically impossible to have identical values when several measurements are taken. -
Page 11: Usage Recommendations
For this reason, in the last few years, the medical class has raised public awareness on the importance of self-monitoring. The Imetec KD-5031 blood pressure monitor displays the classification of the pressure values based on the World Health Organisation indications. This classification is purely indicative... -
