Getting to Know Your
Blood Pressure Monitor
The Etekcity Smart Blood Pressure Monitor is a digital
monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure
and heartbeat rate with an arm circumference of
8.6–16.5 inch / 22–42 cm.
Blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric
method of measuring blood pressure. Before every
measurement, the monitor establishes a "zero
pressure" equivalent to the atmospheric pressure.
It then starts inflating the arm cuff while detecting
pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat
pulsations, which is used to determine the patient's
systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate.
