your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal

be considered to be at risk.
HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative GentleInflate™ technology to detect
your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the monitor
automatically takes the reading during inflation, then deflates,
delivering a quick, comfortable and quiet measurement every time.
To help guide your wrist into the ideal position, this blood pressure
monitor comes equipped with an optional wrist positioning guide to
help you take an accurate blood pressure reading. Please see page
17 for more information on this feature.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation will cause a
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 American Heart Association (AHA 2017) table and provides a cue if
your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. See 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 22 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
