HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your
blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for
each individual. With one touch of a button, the cuff will
automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your
artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Please note that
any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause
measurement error. When measurement is complete, the
monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,
and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement
results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood
Institute’s table and provides a cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk.
Please refer to page 21 for more information on this feature.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected
during measurement. Refer to page 21 for more information
on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
