Blood pressure measurements determined with
this device are equivalent to those obtained by
a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultatory method, within the limits prescribed by
the American National Standard, Manual, electronic,
or automated sphygmomanometers.
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 below 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.
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

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 27 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
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.
HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses Smart Measure™ technology to detect
your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse. Smart
Measure™ technology enables the monitor to automatically
inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for each
