    18 years and older with arm circumference ranging from 9 inches to 17 inches (approx.23 cm to 43 cm) and for home use. HL868AX detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement; an indicated symbol will appear with measuring reading.
  • 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 A. 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 chart. However, this chart is not exact for classification of blood pressure and it's intended to be used as a guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements.
  • Page 6: Measurement Method

    Measurement Method HL868AX Automatic Upper Arm 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 upper arm, just turn on the monitor and inflation automatically starts.
  • Page 7: Accuracy

    Accuracy HL868AX Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor has been clinically tested against scientific device called mercury sphygmomanometer, considered the gold standard in blood pressure measurement. All HL868AX Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors have performed equivalent to measurements taken with this scientific device and are within the accuracy limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
  • Page 8: Precautions

    Precautions Read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before measuring and keep it at hand for your reference at any time. * The device is designed for home use and not suitable for clinical use.
