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.
Why Do My Readings Vary?
Blood pressure is a body parameter that is subject to normal variations
throughout the day. A single reading that is different from yours or your
doctor’s readings are not necessarily inaccurate. The average of several
readings, taken under similar conditions, using the same arm is preferred
for accurate blood pressure readings.
Why Are My Readings Different Than Those Taken at My
Doctor’s Office?
Many experience a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension” when
measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to blood pressure
that rises above its usual level when measured in a clinical setting, such
as a doctor’s office.

6
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
This table contains defined levels for hypertension that are publicly
available from the American Heart Association®(AHA 2017). Users
can compare their own blood pressure readings against these defined
levels to determine if they may potentially be at an 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. See page 21 for more
information on this feature.

Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to
assist you in using the table on the previous page. The table and
cues are only provided for convenience to help you understand your
noninvasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the American
Heart Association®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 innovative GentleInflate™ technology to detect
your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the monitor
automatically takes the reading during inflation, then deflates,
delivering a quick, comfortable and quiet measurement every time.
To help guide your wrist into the ideal position, this blood pressure
monitor comes equipped with an optional wrist positioning guide to
help you take an accurate blood pressure reading. Please see page
17 for more information on this feature.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation will cause a
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 American Heart Association (AHA 2017) table and provides a cue if
your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. See page 21 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 22 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

WRIST POSITIONING GUIDE
• When using wrist blood pressure monitors, it is important to take
the measurement while relaxing your wrist at heart level. This will
help ensure an accurate reading will be taken. Because it is difficult
to find the ideal location for a wrist measurement, we have included
an optional Wrist Positioning Sensor that will assist in directing your
wrist to the ideal location for a blood pressure measurement.
• After you press “START/STOP” button, the display will illuminate
with different icons that are designed to help you move your wrist.
Once the ideal location is found, the wrist symbol will flash twice
and measurement will begin. Keep your arm still until measurement
is completed.
SYMBOL ACTION
Move your wrist up.
Move your wrist down.
Rotate your wrist to your left.
Rotate your wrist to your right.
Wrist is in ideal position, do not move.
Wrist was NOT in ideal position, this symbol will be
saved in the measurement memory if this occurs.
• Even if the monitor is not in the ideal position after 10 seconds, the
measurement will still begin. If this occurs, the wrist symbol will
appear and be stored in the memory with the measurement.

18
NOTE:
• Due to differences in individual sizes and physique, this feature may
not be helpful in all cases and you may wish to turn this feature OFF.
If you feel the suggested wrist position does not match your heart
level, please turn this feature OFF and follow your judgment.

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.
Before Measurement:
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these instructions before
taking a measurement:
• Wait 1 hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages
with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
• Sit quietly and rest for 15 minutes.
• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
• Take your reading in a comfortable environment as measurements
can be affected by hot or cold temperatures. Take your blood
pressure at normal body temperature.
During Measurement:
• DO NOT talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
• DO NOT cross your legs. Sit with feet flat on the floor.
• DO NOT touch cuff or monitor during measurement.
