and pulse rate. The cuff is wrapped around the wrist and is automatically inflated by the air pump. The sensor in the device senses weak fluctuation of the pressure in the cuff produced by extension and contraction of the artery of the wrist in response to each heartbeat. -
Page 6: A Safety Information
Rexall Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. 1.2A Safety Information • Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed with your doctor or a physician who is familiar with your family history. - Page 7 • Try to record your blood pressure regularly at the same time of the day and under the same conditions. This will help your physician detect any extreme variations in your blood pressure and thus treat you accordingly. • Morning Hypertension (>135/85 mmHg): Recently, several studies have identified elevated cardiovascular risks (heart failure, stroke, angina) associated with “morning hypertension”.

• Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity, or in places with a lot of dust. • Clean the device with a soft dry cloth. Do not use gasoline, thinner or similar solvents. Carefully remove spots on the cuff with a damp cloth and soap. Do not wash the cuff. - Page 11 reduce naturally occurring blood pressure variability during the test. For proper comparisons, the subject should be seated comfortably with feet flat on the floor, and have rested for 5 minutes before the first reading to allow blood pressure levels to stabilize. The patients back, elbow and forearm should be supported, and the middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium.
- Page 12 with subsequent measurements, following this protocol reduces these natural changes in BP levels. The standard technical error of both consumer and professional devices is normally ±3 mmHg, so a discrepancy of 6 mmHg is acceptable even when the devices are working within their specifications.

Page 13: About Blood Pressure
2. About Blood Pressure Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory center of your brain. Your nervous system allows your body to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations. Your body alters your pulse or heart rate and the width of blood vessels through changes in muscles in the walls of blood vessels. -

deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the result. Furthermore, with long-term increased blood pressure values, the heart will become structurally damaged. There are many different causes of the appearance of high blood pressure. We differentiate between common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. - Page 15 Systolic Diastolic Comment Less than Below 120 This range is considered “Normal” and ideal This range is considered “Pre- hypertension”: Discuss with your health 120 - 139 80 – 89 care professional. Lifestyle modifications maybe required to avoid advancing into Hypertension.

Page 17: Common Blood Pressure Questions And Answers
2.2 Common Blood Pressure Questions and Answers a) Why is my blood pressure reading always different? Your blood pressure changes constantly. It is quite normal for blood pressure to fluctuate significantly (50 mmHg to 60 mmHg) throughout the day. Blood pressure is normally lowest at night, but increases during waking hours when the stress and activities of everyday life are highest. - Page 18 b) Why is the doctor’s reading different from the reading taken at home? Your blood pressure can vary due to the environment (temperature, nervous condition). When measuring blood pressure at the doctor’s office, it is possible for blood pressure to increase due to anxiety and tension, this is known as “White Coat Hypertension”.
