Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor EW3006. Measuring your own blood pressure is an important way of monitoring your health. High blood pressure (hypertension) is a major health problem which can be treated effectively once detected. Measuring your blood pressure between doctor visits on a regular basis in the comfort of your home, and keeping a record of the measurements, will help you monitor any significant changes in your blood pressure. Keeping an accurate record of your blood pressure will help your doctor diagnose and possibly prevent any health problems in the future. Basics of Blood Pressure Your heart acts like a pump, sending blood surging through your blood vessels each time it contracts. Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by blood pumped from the heart on the walls of blood vessels. Systolic pressure is the pressure exerted when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. Diastolic pressure is the pressure exerted when the heart expands, or relaxes. When you or your doctor take your blood pressure, both your systolic and diastolic pressures are measured. If your blood pressure measurement is 120 over 80 (120/80), for example, your systolic pressure is 120 while your diastolic pressure is 80. 3

Introduction
Thank
you
for
purchasing
the
Panasonic
Wrist
Blood
Pressure
Monitor
EW3006.
Measuring
your
own
blood
pressure
is
an
important
way
of
monitoring
your
health.
High
blood
pressure
(hypertension)
is
a
major
health
problem
which
can
be
treated
effectively
once
detected.
Measuring
your
blood
pressure
between
doctor
visits
on
a
regular
basis
in
the
comfort
of
your
home,
and
keeping
a
record
of
the
measurements,
will
help
you
monitor
any
significant
changes
in
your
blood
pressure.
Keeping
an
accurate
record
of
your
blood
pressure
will
help
your
doctor
diagnose
and
possibly
prevent
any
health
problems
in
the
future.
Basics
of
Blood
Pressure
Your
heart
acts
like
a
pump,
sending
blood
surging
through
your
blood
vessels
each
time
it
contracts.
Blood
pressure
is
the
pressure
exerted
by
blood
pumped
from
the
heart
on
the
walls
of
blood
vessels.
Systolic
pressure
is
the
pressure
exerted
when
the
heart
contracts
and
pumps
blood
into
the
arteries.
Diastolic
pressure
is
the
pressure
exerted
when
the
heart
expands,
or
relaxes.
When
you
or
your
doctor
take
your
blood
pressure,
both
your
systolic
and
diastolic
pressures
are
measured.
If
your
blood
pressure
measurement
is
120
over
80
(120/80),
for
example,
your
systolic
pressure
is
120
while
your
diastolic
pressure
is
80.
