HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse. 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.
Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15
minutes before measurement as measurements taken in a relaxed
state have greater accuracy. The Rest Assure function provides a
helpful countdown of the last 5 minutes of this suggested time
*
. Refer
to page 16 for more information on this feature.
The Triple Check Measurement System automatically takes and
averages three readings for accuracy you can trust. Refer to page 16
for more information on this feature.
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 28 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 29 for more information on the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector.
