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 non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to
the NIH 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 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 14 for more information on this feature.
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 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. See page 23 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 24 for more information on the
Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
