Indication
Indication of Pulse Pressure
This device calculates and displays the pulse pressure value (Fig. 14). Pulse pressure – a diff erence be-
tween the systolic and diastolic pressures – tends to increase with aging.
Systolic blood pressure continues to increase with aging, while diastolic blood pressure tends to decrease
since the age of about 50 years.
It is considered that a high pulse pressure is related to poor elasticity of arteries and is one of the risk
factors for circulatory diseases. Pulse pressure is considered to be normal when it attains 35±10 mm Hg.
MEMORY FUNCTOIN
The measured values are automatically saved for later viewing in the selected memory unit. These memory units can be used to save
separately the measurement results of two diff erent persons or to save separately the results of morning and evening measurements.
Each unit can keep up to 60 measurement results and the average value thereof. When the number of kept values exceeds 60, the oldest
readings are deleted to record new values.
Saved values are kept with the measurement date and time, if set. If you want to save time and date together with the measurement values,
