Appearance of the AFIB Indicator & Hypertension Indicator
1) AFIB Indicator– This device is able to detect atrial
fibrillation (AFIB). If AFIB is present during blood
pressure measurement, the AFIB Indicator
is displayed. It is highly recommended to take an
additional measurement an hour later to increase
the specificity of the detection. The Going-to-Doctor
animation is triggered to remind you to visit your doctor
for further examinations.
* Sometimes the device will detect atrial fibrillation even when it is not there. This can happen if the arm moves during the
reading or another rhythm problem is present. Keep the arm still during the reading. Visiting your doctor with this device may
be necessary to check out any rhythm problems.
* This device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people with pacemakers or defibrillators.

2) Hypertension Indicator– The Hypertension indicator
is displayed if the average of blood pressures
(BP) is greater than or equal to the cut-off point
135/85mmHg for systolic and diastolic BP.The
indicator is displayed in three different conditions:
(1) Both of the systolic and diastolic blood pressures are
greater than or equal to 135/85mmHg.
(2) The systolic BP is greater than or equal to 135mmHg.
(3) The diastolic BP is greater than or equal to 85mmHg.
