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. Both the systolic and diastolic pressure are necessary for
a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s 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 disease. 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 wrist, 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.

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 there is a potential 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 an 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 18 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 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 measure
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.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation 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 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. Please refer to page 18 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 19 for more information on the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector.

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.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
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.
During each measurement, the blood pressure monitor will keep
a record of all the pulse intervals and calculate the average value
of them. If there are 2 or more pulse intervals with 25% or greater
difference, or if there are 4 or more pulse intervals with 15% or
greater difference from the average heartbeat interval, then the
irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the
measurement result.
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.

EXCESSIVE BODY MOTION DETECTOR
The icon is displayed if body
movement is detected during
measurement, especially the
movement of the wrist the blood
pressure monitor is worn on.
NOTE:
The measured blood pressure reading may not be accurate if the
icon is displayed.
RECALLING VALUES FROM MEMORY
1. Press the “MEM” button to access the memory.
2. The monitor will first display the calculated average applied to
the last 3 memories. If the records are less than 3, it will display
the latest record instead.
NOTE:
• The average will not include readings where excessive body
motion occurred.
• Every new press of the “MEM” button
will recall a previous reading. The
latest reading will be recalled first.
