ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery
walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pres-
sure measured when the heart contracts and sends
blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pres-
sure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates
with blood flowing back into the heart
is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
Why Measure Your
Blood Pressure?
Among today’s various health problems, those
associated with high blood pressure are very com-
mon. High blood pressure dangerously correlates with
cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on page 6 contains defined levels for
hypertension that are publicly available from the
National Heart Lung and Blood Institute at the U.S.
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings
against these defined levels to determine if they may
be potentially at increased risk.

6
Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults
Although one can easily find where their own blood
pressure readings fall on this table, this monitor comes
equipped with a Risk Category Index that automatically
compares each reading to the defined levels and provides
a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that
could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 20 for
more information on this feature.
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 to help you under-
stand your non-invasive blood pressure reading as it
relates to the NIH information. 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
This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older. Blood pressure
tends to go up and down, even in people who normally don’t have high
readings. If your numbers stay above the “normal” range most of the time,
you may be at increased risk and should consult your physician.
Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Normal Less than 120 And Less than 80
Prehypertension 120-139 Or 80-89
High Blood Pressure
Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 Or 90-99
Stage 2 Hypertension 160 or Higher Or 100 or Higher

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses Smart Measure™ Technology to
detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a button,
the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow
through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts.
Smart Measure™ Technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level
for each individual. Please note that any muscle move-
ment during inflation or deflation will cause measure-
ment error. When measurement is complete, the monitor
will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,
and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measure-
ment results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute’s table and provides a cue if your read-
ing falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. Please refer to page 20 for
more information on this feature.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was
detected during measurement. Refer to page 21 for
more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
