ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery
walls while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure
measured when the heart contracts and sends blood
out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. 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 common. High blood
pressure dangerously correlates with cardiovascular dis-
eases. Therefore, blood pressure monitoring is important
for identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on the next page 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)
(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html).
Users can compare their own blood pressure readings
against these defined levels to determine if they may be
potentially at increased risk.
IB-BPA110_C--02.indd 5
2011/12/6 下午 12:34

6
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.
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 read-
ing to the defined levels and provides a helpful cue if your
reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indi-
cate increased risk. For more information, refer to the RISK
CATEGORY INDEX section of this 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 to help you understand 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.
Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Normal Less than 120 and Less than 80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
High Blood Pressure
Stage 1 140-159 or 90-99
Stage 2 160 or higher or 100 or higher

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative technology to detect your systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse. 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 at the appropriate level for each individual.
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, dia-
stolic 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. For
more information, refer to the RISK CATEGORY INDEX section
of this manual.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregu-
larity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during
measurement. For more information, refer to the IRREGULAR
HEARTBEAT DETECTOR section of this manual.

inches (2-3cm) above elbow.
6. Center tube over middle of arm.
7. Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens
evenly around your arm. Press the hook
and loop material together to secure.
Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the
cuff and your arm.
8. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward)
so the cuff is at the same height as your
heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.

Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it
can also be placed on your right arm. However, all mea-
surements should be made using the same arm.
To use on the right arm, you must position the artery
symbol “ ” over the main artery. Locate the main artery
by pressing with two fingers approximately 1”
(2 cm) above the bend
of your elbow on the
inside of your right arm.
Identify where the pulse
can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Important Notes:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and
other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after
exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with
alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood
pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly
for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed
state will have greater accuracy. You should not be
physically tired or exhausted while taking a
measurement.

3. After all symbols disappear, the display will
show “00”. The monitor is “Ready to Measure” and will
automatically inflate the cuff to start measurement.
4. The cuff will begin deflating as measurement continues.
Note: This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the system
detects that your body requires more pressure for
measurement.
5. When the measurement is
completed, the cuff will deflate entirely.
Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and
pulse will be shown simultaneously on
the LCD screen. The measurement is
then automatically stored into
memory.
