HOW UB-512 WORKS ? ® LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitors are easy to use, accurate and display clear digital measurements. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method”. The term “oscillation” refers to the measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse and is a non-invasive method to determine blood pressure. Our monitors examine the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts with each heartbeat against the monitor’s cuff. This monitor measures your

Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts; diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). What Affects Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is affected by many factors: age, weight, time of day, activity level, climate, altitude and season. Certain activities can significantly alter one’s blood pressure. Wa

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What Is Hypertension? Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings consis- tently rise above normal.
