    5.3 inches to 7.7 inches (approx. 135 mm to 195 mm) and for home use. HL158VA detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement; an indicated symbol will appear with measuring reading. And the Risk Category Indicator will show the information with the readings on the screen for the user tracking their blood pressure level.

  • Page 4: About Blood Pressure

    About Blood Pressure 1. What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly fluctuating during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is beating.
  • Page 5 About Blood Pressure AHA blood pressure classifications: Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure without regard to age, have been established by the American Heart Association (AHA 2017), as shown in the below chart. SYSTOLIC mm Hg DIASTOLIC mmHg BLOOD PRESSURE CATEGORY (upper number) (lower number)

  • Page 6: Measurement Method

    Measurement Method HL158VA Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor measures blood pressure and heart rate by oscillometric method, meaning the fluctuations in pressure are measured. Once the cuff is wrapped around your wrist, just turn on the monitor and inflation automatically starts. The inflation of the cuff creates pressure around the arteries inside the wrist.
