The large display includes systolic blood pressure reading, diastolic blood pressure reading and the pulse rate, all clearly shown at the completion of each reading. You can store up to 99 measurements in each of the unit's 4 memory zones, ideal for users who want to monitor and track their blood pressure on a regular basis. The 1134 is compact and portable, making it perfect for home use and travel. Blood pressure measurements determined with your 1134 are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. Please read this manual carefully before use. For specific information on your own blood pressure, contact your physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure. Why Measure Your Blood Pressure? Among the various health problems afflicting people today, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular disease has made measuring blood pressure a necessity for identifying those at risk. 4 5How the 1134 Works About Blood Pressure What is Blood Pressure?
