What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood
out of the heart, the blood pressure reaches
its maximum value in the cycle, which is
called systolic pressure. When the ventricles
relax, the blood pressure reaches its minimum
value in the cycle, which is called diastolic
pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The blood pressure
classification published
by World Health Organization
(WHO) and International
Society of Hypertension
(ISH) in 1999 is as follows:
CAUTION
Only a physician can tell your normal BP
range. Please contact a physician if your
measuring result falls out of the range.
Kindly note that only a physician could
tell whether your blood pressure value has
reached a dangerous point.

Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of Irregular
Heartbeat (IHB) Detector. During each measurement, this equipment records
the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation. If the calculated
value is larger than or equal to 15, this equipment will light up the IHB symbol on
the screen when displaying the measuring result.
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB 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.
