I believe it says I found the automatic ones to be less accurate than blow up ones with a stethescope that directly hear the blood pressure. Meaning the top number is the diastolic which is when the blood pressure is highest and systolic is the end or low end of blood pressure. I could site numerous examples but I chose not to as I believe that the e-mail from my family member was the reason for block. Yes splitting hairs is not in my best interests at this time as I have too many other problems. So I let it rest. Phillipa ps it was based on my experience as a nurse and the numerous doctors I worked with some who would not allow us to even use the automtatic ones. But I can't list them. So have a nice day. Love always
