The device can be operated using 3 user-friendly buttons which can easily be understood by reading the manual just once!
This device is non-invasive. The cuff will apply a pressure to the arm between 40-230mmHG, and can measure a pulse range between 40-199 beats per minute.
Blood pressure readings have two numbers, for example 140/90mmHg. The top number is your systolic blood pressure (the highest pressure when your heart beats and pushes the blood round your body). The bottom one is your diastolic blood pressure (the lowest pressure when your heart relaxes between beats).
Only one of the numbers has to be higher or lower than it should be to count as either ‘high blood pressure’ or ‘low blood pressure’. The level of your blood pressure determines what kind of treatment or changes you may need to undertake. The Duronic BPM400 blood pressure monitor will measure blood pressure in the following way:
| SEVERE: | 180/110 or over | GRADE 3: severe hypertension |
|---|---|---|
| MODERATE: | 160/100 to 179/109 | GRADE 2: moderate hypertension |
| MILD: | 140/90 to 159/99 | GRADE 1: mild hypertension |
| NORMAL: | 90/60 to 139/89 | HEALTHY RANGE |
If the reading measures less than <90/60 it is advisable to get it checked again by your GP who can confirm/diagnose low blood pressure and offer advice to treat it. To find out more about blood pressure please refer to the NHS website where you will find further guidelines and advice.
Below are some changes you could make to your lifestyle to reduce high blood pressure. Some of these will lower your blood pressure in a matter of weeks, while others may take longer. You can take these steps today, regardless of whether or not you're taking blood pressure medication. In fact, by making these changes early-on, you may be able to avoid needing any medication at all.
