A Product Information/Notes On Use - visocor HM40 Mode D'emploi

Notes on use
A
Method of measurement
This product uses the oscillometric method for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate. When
the Start/Stop button is pressed, the system starts to build up pressure automatically up to ca. 190
mmHg. If cuff pressure is too low, the device automatically increases the pressure in increments of
40 mmHg.
Within a very short space of time the device records the small oscillations within the cuff, which
occur owing to expansion and contraction of the arteries in the arm (heart beat). The measuring
process stops after establishing the systole, diastole and pulse when air is let out of the cuff.
The amplitude of each pressure wave is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), converted
and displayed on the LCD in the form of a digital value. A memory stores the last 30 results for the
purposes of comparison.
The visocor HM40 is based on non-invasive measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure
®
on the wrist and measurement of pulse rate in adults, i.e. from the age of 15 upwards. The product
is recommended to patients with unstable blood pressure or known hypertension, for home use
and therapy support.
