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 one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate
to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation
process starts.
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 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 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
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected
during measurement. Refer to page 24 for more information on the
