FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find numerous answers to the most frequently asked questions about our products.

Why do the measurement results differ between a measurement on the upper arm and a measurement on the wrist?

Blood pressure can be measured both on the wrist and on the upper arm. The measurement accuracy is basically similar, but there are some differences in the application that can lead to deviating measurement results.

The blood pressure can be influenced by the position of the measuring device in relation to the heart. When measuring blood pressure at the wrist, make sure that the wrist with the blood pressure monitor is at heart level. If the wrist is below heart level, the blood pressure is estimated to be higher. When measuring blood pressure on the upper arm, the measuring device is usually at heart level.

In addition, there are certain groups of people for whom wrist blood pressure measurement is not recommended. These include:

People with arterial disease: People suffering from arterial disease such as arteriosclerosis or arteritis should not measure blood pressure at the wrist. Because these conditions can cause narrowing of the arteries, measuring blood pressure at the wrist can be inaccurate.
People over 65: Older people are more likely to suffer from arteriosclerosis or other arterial diseases that can cause narrowing and hardening of the arteries. This can restrict blood flow to the wrist, which can lead to inaccurate measurements.
Diabetics: Diabetics are more likely to have circulatory problems and nerve damage in the extremities. Blood pressure measurement at the wrist may therefore be inaccurate.
Overweight people: It may be more difficult to measure blood pressure accurately at the wrist in overweight people because the tissues at the wrist may be thicker.
Pregnant women: During pregnancy, it may be more difficult to accurately measure blood pressure at the wrist as the body changes and the tissues around the wrist may become thicker.

For these groups of people, it is recommended tomeasure blood pressure on the upper arm to get accurate results.

Why are there differences in blood pressure readings at the doctor's office and at home?

It is not uncommon for there to be differences in blood pressure readings taken at the doctor's office and at home. There are several reasons why these differences may occur:

White coat hypertension: Many people are agitated or stressed at the doctor's office, which can lead to elevated blood pressure levels. This is also known as white coat hypertension and can cause the blood pressure reading at the doctor's office to be higher than at home.
Environment: The environment in which the blood pressure is measured can have an impact on the readings. In the doctor's office, the sounds and ambiance can cause a person to be agitated, which can lead to higher blood pressure readings.
Different measurement methods: different measurement methods can lead to different readings. The doctor may take a manual reading, while an automatic blood pressure monitor is often used at home.
Time of day: blood pressure can vary throughout the day and is usually highest in the morning and lowest in the evening. If blood pressure is measured at the doctor's office in the morning and at home in the evening, the readings may be different.
Taking medication: taking antihypertensive medication may result in different readings if the medication is taken at different times or if a dose is missed.

If you notice differences in blood pressure readings, it is important to discuss them with your doctor. Your doctor can help you determine if your readings are correct and if further testing is needed. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure regularly to detect changes over time.

What mistakes can be made when measuring blood pressure?

When measuring blood pressure, various errors can occur that can lead to inaccurate or false results. Here are some common mistakes that should be avoided:

Incorrect position: the upper arm should be at heart level and the back should be straight for the measurement to be correct. If the arm is too low or too high, this can lead to incorrect readings.
Inflating or deflating too quickly: The meter should be inflated and deflated slowly and evenly so that the blood pressure can be measured accurately. Inflating or deflating too quickly can lead to inaccurate results.
Incorrect cuff size: a cuff that is too small may give high readings, while a cuff that is too large may give low readings.
Movement during measurement: movement or muscle tension during measurement can lead to incorrect results. It is important to sit still and not talk during the measurement.
Eating, drinking or smoking before the measurement: caffeine, nicotine and alcohol can increase blood pressure and lead to inaccurate results. It is best to avoid these substances for at least 30 minutes before the measurement.
Incorrect timing of measurement: blood pressure can vary throughout the day depending on various factors such as stress, physical activity and medication intake. It is best to always measure blood pressure at a specific time of day and under the same conditions.
Lack of rest: it is important to relax and rest for at least five minutes before taking the measurement. Taking a measurement immediately after physical activity or stress can lead to inaccurate results.

How do I measure my blood pressure with an upper arm sphygmomanometer?

To measure your blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor, do the following:

Sit comfortably and relax for a few minutes.
Place the cuff of the blood pressure monitor around your upper arm, about 2-3 cm above the crook of your elbow. Make sure that the cuff is tight but not too tight.
Start the blood pressure monitor. Depending on the type of device, this can be done by pressing a button or by automatically inflating the cuff. 4.
The device inflates the cuff to block the blood flow in the artery. Then it starts to gradually reduce the pressure in the cuff and measures your blood pressure at the same time.
When the measurement is complete, the device displays the systolic and diastolic blood pressure reading.
Note the readings and the date to track the changes over time.

It is important to measure blood pressure at different times of the day to get an accurate picture. It is recommended that you measure your blood pressure at least once a day and record the measurements over several days or weeks to get a reliable result. If you have any questions about the correct use of the blood pressure monitor, it is best to consult your doctor or pharmacist.

At what measured value do we speak of high blood pressure?

One speaks of high blood pressure, also called hypertension, when the systolic blood pressure value is permanently above 140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure value is permanently above 90 mmHg. The systolic value indicates the pressure at which the blood is pumped through the arteries, while the diastolic value measures the pressure when the heart relaxes between heartbeats. The ideal systolic level is 120 mmHg and the ideal diastolic level is 80 mmHg.

What values does a blood pressure monitor measure?

A blood pressure monitor usually measures two values: systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is the higher value that measures the pressure of the blood in the arteries during contraction of the heart muscle. Diastolic blood pressure is the lower value that measures the pressure when the heart relaxes between contractions and the arteries fill again. Both values are given in the unit of measurement "mmHg" (millimetres of mercury).

How does a blood pressure monitor work?

A blood pressure monitor usually consists of two main components: a cuff and a measuring device. The cuff is placed around the patient's arm, wrist or finger and inflated to cut off the blood flow in the artery. The gauge measures the pressure needed to inflate the cuff and cut off the blood flow. Once the pressure is read on the gauge, the cuff is slowly deflated and blood flow is restored to the artery. The meter then determines the systolic and diastolic blood pressure based on the strength and rhythm of the blood flow as the cuff is deflated.

Modern blood pressure monitors usually have an automatic inflation function that increases the pressure in the cuff, making it easier to measure blood pressure. Some devices also have additional features such as a memory or a connection to a computer or smartphone to track and record blood pressure readings over time.

It is important to note that the accuracy of a blood pressure monitor depends on several factors, including correct use, positioning and calibration of the device. It is therefore recommended that you read the instructions for use carefully and follow the manufacturer's instructions to obtain the most accurate results.

Why should you check your blood pressure regularly?

In the long run, high blood pressure increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack, stroke, heart and kidney failure. If you suspect that your blood pressure is too high, it is therefore important to check your blood pressure levels regularly.
