Accu BP Monitor

Uses of Accu BP Monitor

Home monitoring of blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) and pulse rate; useful for screening, routine follow-up in hypertension, and tracking response to therapy.

• •Measures systolic & diastolic blood pressure
• •Measures pulse rate
• •Helps track hypertension control at home
• •Useful for maintaining BP log for doctor review

How it works

The monitor uses the oscillometric method. As the cuff inflates and deflates, it detects pressure oscillations in the artery and calculates systolic/diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate using an internal algorithm.

Directions for use

Use as per user manual. Sit calmly for 5 minutes; avoid caffeine/exercise/smoking 30 minutes prior. Wrap cuff on bare upper arm at heart level, keep feet flat and arm supported, and remain still/silent during measurement. Take 2–3 readings 1 minute apart and record the average.

Side effects

Common side effects of Accu BP Monitor may include:

• •Transient arm discomfort from cuff inflation
• •skin irritation (rare)
• •inaccurate readings if cuff size/position is wrong

Warnings & precautions

Not for emergency diagnosis; consult a doctor for very high/low readings or symptoms (chest pain, breathlessness, weakness, severe headache). Incorrect cuff size, movement, talking, arrhythmias, tremors, or improper arm position can affect accuracy. Use with caution in patients with severe arrhythmias, peripheral vascular disease, or on dialysis—confirm with clinician if readings are inconsistent. Keep out of reach of children; small parts/batteries may be hazardous.
