Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat. When
the  heart  contracts  (=  systole)  and  pumps  blood  into  the  arteries,  it  brings  about  a
rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and is the first
value  to  be  measured.  When  the  cardiac  muscle  relaxes  to  take  in  fresh  blood,  the 
pressure in the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is 
taken – the diastolic pressure.
2.2 What is blood pressure?
The Upper arm blood pressure monitor BU 550 connect is a blood pressure unit 
which is used to measure blood pressure at the upper arm. The measurement is car-
ried out by a microprocessor - already during the inflating process of the cuff. The de-
vice detects the systole and the measurement is completed earlier than using conven-
tional measurement methods. As a result, an unnecessarily excessive inflation pres-
sure in the cuff is prevented. Additionally, your device is able to recognize unregular
heartbeat  (so-called  arrhythmia),  which  may  affect  the  measurements.  In  case  an
arrhythmia has been deteced, the respective symbol will appear in the display of the
unit (see chapter 4.2 Taking a blood pressure measurement).
