HOW UA-853 WORKS ? LifeSource® blood pressure monitors are easy to use, accurate and digitally display full measurement readouts. Our technology is based on the “oscillometric method” – a noninvasive blood pressure determination. The term “oscillation” refers to any measure of vibrations caused by the arterial pulse. Our monitor examines the pulsatile pressure generated by the arterial wall as it expands and contracts against the cuff with each heartbeat. The cuff is inflated until the arte

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUff SIZE Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the correct blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that is higher than the correct blood pressure. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What Is Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. 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 press

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE What Is Hypertension? Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings consistently rise above normal. It is well known that hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early. Can Hypertension Be Controlled? In many individuals, hypertension can be controlled by
