Systolic pressure is the top number that the blood pressure monitor will indicate. Systolic pressure refers to the amount of pressure in your arteries during the contraction of your heart muscle.
Diastolic pressure is the lowest number that the blood pressure monitor will indicate. The bottom number refers to your blood pressure when your heart muscle is between beats.
A normal blood pressure is about 120/80.
To ensure accurate blood pressure measurements with the Braun VitalScan 5 sphygmomanometer, follow these steps: 1. Positioning: It is crucial to position the sphygmomanometer at heart level for accurate measurements. Place your hand with the device on your upper arm, and slowly move your hand upward along the upper arm. Watch the positioning system on the device and adjust your hand up or down according to the arrow direction shown. The device will indicate when your wrist position is accurate with a green arm icon and a beep sound. 2. Measurement: Once your wrist position is correct, the device will automatically inflate and begin taking your blood pressure reading. The measurement is complete when the reading is displayed on the LCD screen, showing the systolic value (top), diastolic value (middle), and pulse (bottom). The device will also emit a long beep to indicate the completion of the measurement. By following these steps and ensuring proper positioning, you can obtain accurate blood pressure measurements with the Braun VitalScan 5 sphygmomanometer.
If the blood pressure values displayed on the Braun VitalScan 5 sphygmomanometer are outside the standard range, follow these steps: 1. Check the positioning: Ensure that the sphygmomanometer is properly positioned at heart level.

Verify the cuff placement: Make sure that the cuff is wrapped securely around your wrist. Ensure that it is not too tight or too loose, as this can affect the accuracy of the measurements. 3. Take multiple measurements: If you get a reading that is outside the standard range, take multiple measurements at different times of the day. Blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day, so it is important to get a more comprehensive picture of your blood pressure values. 4. Consult a healthcare professional: If you consistently get readings outside the standard range, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide further guidance and determine if any additional steps need to be taken. By following these steps, you can address blood pressure values that are outside the standard range with the Braun VitalScan 5 sphygmomanometer.
