Wellion WAVE plus upper-arm blood pressure monitor

blood pressure measurement on the upper arm

high blood pressure and associated complications are preventable and treatable

Many people feel very well for a long time despite the high blood pressure and have no complaints. Others, however, complain of headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath and tiredness. The headaches usually appear in the morning and disappear again after an hour or two. However, these symptoms can also have other causes – regular blood pressure checks help to clarify the symptoms. High blood pressure often occurs with other cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, obesity and hyperlipidemia.

However, high blood pressure can only be successfully treated in cooperation between doctor and the person concerned. The treatment is tailored to the individual person.

Wellion WAVE Plus blood pressure monitor

The Wellion WAVE blood pressure monitors are particularly convenient to measure. The illuminated display with the particularly large numbers is easy to read. Up to 90 readings can be stored.

With the coloured marking on the side edge, your blood pressure measurement result is not only displayed in numbers, but also classified in a range of the WHO blood pressure classification. A practical traffic-light system for better evaluation of the results.

• If your result is in the normal range, the marker is in the green area.
• The yellow area indicates a slightly deviating value that is either lower or slightly higher than normal (high-normal).
• A blood pressure that is too high is always marked in the red area.

Upper Arm Cuff Size: 22-42 cm 

Why monitor your blood pressure at home?
In the stressful situation of having one’s blood pressure measured in hospital or at the doctor’s surgery, blood pressure readings may be higher – usually 25 to 30 mmHg higher than when measured at home. Measuring blood pressure at home is not affected by external factors; it complements the readings taken by the doctor and provides a more accurate overall picture of blood pressure levels.

How to measure blood pressure correctly

• Relax and try to remain still for 5 to 10 minutes before taking a measurement.

• Sit down on a chair with backrest.

• When taking control measurements, always measure on the arm with the higher blood pressure – usually the left arm (near the heart). Position your arm so that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
  

• Stand on the floor with both feet.

• Stay calm during the measurement – talking, laughing or coughing can falsify the results.

• After heavy physical exertion, sports, eating, smoking, alcohol consumption and bathing, wait at least 30 minutes before measuring your blood pressure, as these activities can affect your blood pressure.

• Do not worry about an unusual result from a single measurement. Several measurements recorded over a long period of time will give you a better overview of your blood pressure.

The Wellion WAVE blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method to determine blood pressure.
