As well as monitoring your blood pressure the M2 basic monitor is designed to look out for hypertension and will indicate to the user when any of these conditions are detected. Hypertension: What is Blood Pressure? - The heart is a very powerful pump that beats steadily - The pressure created by the heart to pump the blood through the blood vessels is called blood pressure - When the heart muscle contracts the blood surges through the arteries, this is when the systolic (upper) blood pressure value occurs The diastolic (lower) value is the resting pressure before the heart contracts again. Ideally your blood pressure should be below 140/85 mmHg. There are approximately 16 million people in the UK with high blood pressure, however nearly two thirds are not aware of the fact, which is understandable when there are no symptoms. However, if left, high blood pressure can lead to strokes and heart problems. Clinically Validated Every OMRON blood pressure monitor is tested for accuracy against the clinical guidelines for measuring blood pressure that are specified by the European Society of Hypertension. A clinically validated monitor means that it has undergone tests conducted by independent doctors according to a predetermined protocol, which includes ensuring the accuracy of the measurements (algorithm) of the blood pressure monitors. Easy to Use OMRON’s HEM-7121J allows you to measure your blood pressure with ease and accuracy in the comfort of your own home in just a few steps. After positioning yourself and the cuff, it is simply a matter of turning the machine on, pressing start, and then recording the measurement. IntelliSense Technology The IntelliSense Monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use. No adjustments are required by the user to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is likely to fluctuate.
