How This Blood Pressure Monitor Works - HoMedics BPW-715 Manual

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 in helping you to understand
your noninvasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the
American Heart Association ® (AHA 2017) i nformation. 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 technology to detect your blood
pressure. This technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for
each individual. With the 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.
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
19 for more information on this feature.
The appearance of the i icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected
during measurement. Refer to page 20 for more information on
the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
