• Do not use this device for diagnosis or treatment of any health
problem or disease. Measurement results are for reference only.
Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of pressure
measurements. Contact your physician if you have or suspect any
medical problem. Do not change your medications without the

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.

defined levels and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. See

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 Are My Readings Different?
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isnotnecessarilyinaccurate.The
average of several readings, taken under similar conditions, using
the same arm is preferred for accurate blood pressure readings.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

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.
Beforemeasurement,itissuggestedthatyousitquietlyfor15
minutesbeforemeasurementasmeasurementstakeninarelaxed
statehavegreateraccuracy.TheRestAssurefunctionprovidesa

blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may
actually be considered to be at risk.
(No Symbol)
IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)
Theappearanceofthe icon
indicates that a pulse irregularity
consistent with an irregular heartbeat
was detected during measurement.
Usuallythisisnotacauseforconcern.
However, if the symbol appears often,
we recommend you seek medical
advice. Please note that the device does
notreplaceacardiacexamination,but
serves to detect pulse irregularities at
an early stage.
Movement, shaking or talking during the measurement can result
in pulse irregularities that may cause the appearance of this icon.
Therefore,itisofgreatimportancetonotmoveortalkduring
measurement.
Todeterminethepresenceofanirregularheartbeat,theaverageof
the heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal effective
heartbeat values. It is important to note that the average is not a strict
mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats
with25%orgreaterdifferencefromtheaverageheartbeatintervalwill
generate the icon on the screen.
ImportantInformation:
Thisbloodpressuremonitorisnotdesignedforusebypeoplewith
arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmia problem.
As a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as
atrial or ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation or any other
special conditions you should check with your physician before using
your blood pressure monitor.
