Accreditation
This unit has been validated in accordance with requirements set by the European
Society of Hypertension (ESH) and British Hypertension Society (BHS). These
protocols test the accuracy of blood pressure monitors to ensure measurements are
comparable to those obtained by trained medical professionals.
Movement Detection
The "Movement Detection" helps to remind the user to remain still and indicates
any body movement during the measurement procedure. The specified icon appears
once a "body movement" has been detected during and after each measurement.
Note: It's highly recommended that you measure again if the icon appears.
Jumbo screen
This blood pressure monitor has been fitted with a Jumbo screen to make it easier
to read the results.
Comfort Inflation Technology
The unit will only inflate as high as necessary to provide greater comfort.
It uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts
inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air
pressure. This unit will determine the appropriate inflation level based on pressure
oscillations, followed by cuff deflation.
During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure
oscillations and thereby determine for you the systolic blood pressure, diastolic
blood pressure, and pulse.
Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detection
This unit is equipped with an Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detection which allows those
who have an irregular heartbeat to obtain accurate measurements alerting the user
of the presence of an irregular heart beat during the measurement.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you consult your physician if the IHB icon
appears often.

Hypertension Risk Indicator
Hypertension can be classified into 4 stages 1 . This unit is equipped with an innovative
hypertension risk indicator, which visually indicates the assumed risk level.
Systolic Pressure
Normal <120
Prehypertension 120~139
Stage 1 hypertension 140~159
Stage 2 hypertension ≥160
This blood pressure classification is based on historical data, and may not be
directly applicable to any particular patient. It is important that you consult with your
physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as
well as the point at which you will be considered at risk. For reliable monitoring and
reference of blood pressure, keeping long-term records is recommended.

Average measurement display
When recalling stored blood pressure measurements from the memory, the first
measurement displayed is the average of the last three measurements.
Universal Cuff
This monitor is supplied with a universal cuff which fits most adult arm sizes (24-40cm).
Guest Mode
The guest mode enables a measurement to be taken without it being stored in the
memory. Press the User-Switching button to select the memory zone of guest, and
follow the Measurement Procedure to take a measurement correctly.
Diastolic Pressure
