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 diseases. Therefore,
blood pressure monitoring is important for
identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table on the following 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.
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 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. 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. 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. 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. For more
information, refer to the RISK CATEGORY INDEX
section of this manual.
