Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to
assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided
for convenience to help you understand your noninvasive blood
pressure reading as it relates to the American Heart Association
®
information. They are not a substitute for a medical examination by
your physician. It is important for you to consult with your physician
regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure
range as well as the point at which you may actually be considered
to be at risk.
HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative GentleInflate™ technology to measure
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.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation 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 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. Please refer to page 18 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 19 for more information on the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector.
