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.
IB-WGNBPW-720--02.indd 5 2012/7/11 上午 11:37

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.
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
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

your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. See page 23 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 innovative technology to detect your blood
pressure. 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.
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 14 for more information on this feature.
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. See page 23 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 24 for more information on the
Irregular Heartbeat Detector.

APPLYING THE CUFF
1. Remove all watches, wrist jewelry, etc. prior to attaching
the wrist monitor. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up
and the cuff should be wrapped around bare skin for
correct measurements.
2. Apply cuff to left wrist with
palm facing up as shown in
Fig. A.
3. Make sure the edge of the
cuff is about 1/4”~1/2” (1 cm)
from the palm as shown in
Fig. B.

4. In order to ensure accurate
measurements, fasten the hook
and loop strap securely around
your wrist so there is no extra
space between the cuff and the
wrist as shown in Fig. C. If the
cuff is not wrapped tight enough,
the measurement values will not
be accurate.
5.Ifyourphysicianhasdiagnosed
you with poor circulation in your
left arm, place the cuff around
your right wrist as shown in Fig. D.
Note:
If it is not possible to use the cuff on
your left wrist, it can also be used
on your right wrist. However, all
measurements should be made using
the same wrist.

CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE
1. Place your elbow on a table so that
the cuff is at the same level as your
heart as shown in Fig. A. Relax your
entire body, especially between your
elbow and fingers.
Note:
Your heart is located slightly below
your armpit.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level as
your heart or if you cannot keep your
arm completely still throughout the
reading, use a soft object such as a
folded towel to support your arm as
shown in Fig. B.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
