White-coat hypertension is a phenomenon where patients tend to have higher blood pressure in the presence of health care workers and particularly physicians. In some patients it may be necessary to measure blood pressure at home to determine whether or not there is true hypertension or if the presence of health care workers is affecting the readings being recorded. It is important to note that there are a variety of other reasons for home blood pressure measurement and being asked to record your readings at home may be an important part of your treatment.

Yes. In general you should take your blood pressure on your left arm. If you are unable to take your blood pressure on your left arm, you may take it on your right arm instead but you should be aware that there may be differences between your right and left arms. In some patients the differences can be as much as 10 mmHg or more. It is not recommended that you compare readings between both arms if you have taken multiple readings on both, as the results may vary due to the differences between the two arms.

A number of factors can affect the readings obtained by your automatic blood pressure monitor and it is important to keep several of these in mind when preparing to take a reading. The following points should be considered before measurement:

It is very important. In general, a patient should be seated comfortably with their back and arm supported. Patients should sit with their feet flat on the floor and their legs uncrossed. When patients are supine, blood pressure measurements can vary 5-8 mmHg and this variation can increase if the arm is not supported to ensure that the cuff is at heart level. Similar variations can occur if the patient’s back or arm is unsupported, or if they are not seated correctly.

Depending on the model you have purchased, your home BP monitor will allow you to store a set number of readings. For our single-user models including the 6021 series, once you have reached the maximum number of readings that can be stored on your monitor, a ‘FULL’ message will display onscreen to indicate that the monitor’s memory is full. When this happens, taking additional readings will begin to overwrite older readings stored in memory.

AFD stands for Adjustable Frequency Diaphragm technology. Stethoscope models with AFD technology feature a single sided chestpiece that allows adjustment of the frequency by altering pressure to the chestpiece.  Light pressure accentuates lower frequencies, while firm pressure accentuates higher frequencies, simulating the diaphragm and bell sides of a two sided chestpiece.
