The Wellion WAVE Plus blood pressure monitor makes measuring your blood pressure particularly convenient. The illuminated display with extra-large digits is easy to read. Up to 90 readings can be stored. The upper arm cuff is always within reach and is stored neatly in the rear compartment at the same time.

With the colored marking on the side, your blood pressure reading is not only displayed in numbers, but also classified into a range of the WHO blood pressure classification. If your result is in the normal range, the marker is in the green range. Blood pressure that is too high is always marked in the red range, and a normal-high value is in the yellow range. A practical traffic light system for better assessment of the results. The blood pressure evaluation (green = normal, yellow = mild hypertension, red = hypertension) is carried out in accordance with the classification by the World Health Organization WHO. The marker next to the color scale on the edge of the display shows you which range your current blood pressure value is in.

Upper arm cuff size: 22-42cm

Many people feel very well for a long time despite high blood pressure and have no complaints. Others, on the other hand, complain of headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath and fatigue. The headaches usually occur in the morning and disappear after one or two hours. However, these symptoms can also have other causes - regular blood pressure monitoring helps 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 the doctor and the patient. The treatment is tailored to the individual patient.

Why check your blood pressure at home? 
In the stressful situation of blood pressure measurement in the clinic or in the doctor's office, elevated blood pressure values can occur, usually 25 to 30 mmHg higher than under home conditions. Measuring blood pressure at home is unaffected by external influences, supplements blood pressure measurement by the doctor and gives a more accurate overall picture of blood pressure levels.

Application

Measuring blood pressure correctly

• Measure while sitting relaxed after at least 3-5 minutes of rest
• Immediately before the measurement: strenuous physical exertion and excitement should be avoided.
• Large amounts of fluid should not be drunk immediately before the measurement, and the bladder should be largely emptied.
• Alcohol and nicotine should be avoided at least 1 hour beforehand.
• The time of the last intake of any blood pressure lowering medication should be recorded.
• The first measurement should be taken on both arms. If there are major differences, further checks must be carried out.
• Always measure on the arm with the higher blood pressure during follow-up measurements - usually the left arm (near the heart).
• Pause for at least one minute between successive measurements.
