Introduction Thank you for purchasing the EZ Health Platinum Deluxe Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor model number ABP-B2. For your safety, please be sure to read this Owner’s Manual thoroughly before using the Blood Pressure Monitor. For other specific information about your own blood pressure, CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
Health and Blood Pressure Values Because of continuous aging of blood vessels, blood pressure of the human body tends to naturally increase from middle age onwards. Further causes for increased blood pressure include obesity, lack exercise, cholesterol (LDL) adherence to blood vessels causing the vessels lose their elasticity and a variety of other medical problems.

Variations in Blood Pressure: The variations in blood pressure over a whole day with measurement taken every five minutes as shown below. Classification of Blood Pressure by the WHO: The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Inter-national Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown as below.
Important Information Blood pressure values measured at home tend to be lower than those measured in the hospital or physicians office. This is called “White Coat Syndrome” and is caused by the fact that you tend to be nervous when you have your blood pressure measured in the hospital , but you feel relaxed at home.
Diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia accelerate hardening of the arteries. If such conditions continue, there is an increased danger of stroke, coronary infarction, arterial stenosis and disorders of the peripheral blood circulation. In such cases, there can be a large difference between blood pressure values taken at the wrist and upper arm.
Warning If the inflation continues and doesn’t stop, please open the cuff immediately or turn off the unit by pressing the POWER button. Do not measure repeatedly for a long period of time. This device is not supposed to be used if your arm has any wound or injury.
7. Wait at least 3 minutes before you take another blood pressure measurement. 8. Keep the records for your physician as reference. 9. Remember that a single measurement is not necessarily representative of your typical blood pressure. Recording multiple measurements over time will reveal the long-term trend of your blood pressure.
