Introduction
To achieve the maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor, we recommend that you first consult with your physician or trained health care professional.
Thank you for purchasing a MABIS Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor. With proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable readings.
The method of measurement that your Automatic Wrist Monitor uses is called the oscillometric method. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery in your wrist and converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method does not require a stethoscope, making the monitor easy-to-use. The preformed cuff requires little effort to apply and is comfortable to wear.
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Because the arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected, changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure. Frequent wrist blood pressure measurements will provide you and your physician with an accurate indication of change in your true blood pressure.
People with severe hypertension, severe arteriosclerosis, or severe diabetes, should consult their physician about monitoring blood pressure at the wrist.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.

General Blood Pressure Information
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure that is exerted by blood flowing against the walls of the blood vessels throughout your body.
Your heart, which is the center of the circulatory system, provides the force for the blood to flow or circulate. When your heart contracts or beats, the blood is forced through the blood vessels increasing the pressure. This is the highest pressure in the cycle or what is referred to as SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE. In between beats, your heart relaxes and your blood pressure decreases. This is referred to as DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE.
This complete series of events which occurs in a single heartbeat is known as the CARDIAC CYCLE.
Your MABIS Automatic Wrist Monitor will automatically read your blood pressure and display both systolic and diastolic readings on the screen. Your systolic will be positioned as the upper number and the diastolic reading will be the lower number.
(systolic)
120 /
80
(diastolic)
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters (mm) of Mercury (Hg) and is generally recorded with the systolic pressure (120) listed first and the diastolic pressure (80) listed second. The numbers are typically separated by a slash mark ( / ) as shown above. Both pressure readings, the SYSTOLIC and the DIASTOLIC, are necessary for a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.
Please contact your physician for specific information regarding your own blood pressure.

Instruction manual E&S 7/20/04 3:31 PM Page 7
What Influences Blood Pressure?
Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, anxiety, muscular development, certain medications or even the time of day can influence blood pressure. Influences such as sleep or relaxation decreases blood pressure, while anxiety or exercise increases blood pressure.
Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home?
A visit to a physician’s office can be a stressful situation for a patient. And, anxiety is a known factor in raising blood pressure.
This temporary occurrence of elevated blood pressure at the physician’s office is commonly referred to as “white coat syndrome”.
Whether or not you experience “white coat syndrome”, home blood pressure monitoring provides you with the opportunity to supplement your physician’s office measurements. These home readings, when taken over a period of time, can show an accurate indication of change. Furthermore, your records can assist your physician in evaluating your health and in making important decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of your condition.
Because of this, it is important to take consistent, daily measurements of your blood pressure.
The variations in your individual readings should only be interpreted by your physician or a trained health care professional.

Variations in Blood Pressure
Blood pressure can be influenced by many factors. This change can occur from moment to moment. Normally, blood pressure is lowest during the sleeping period and rises during the day. The graph below represents the variations in blood pressure shown over a day with measurements taken every 5 minutes.
