RISK CATEGORY INDEX
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category
Index that automatically compares each reading
to defined levels established by the U.S. National
Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute as described earlier in this manual,
and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls in
the normal range as defined by NIH. 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.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)
The appearance of the
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.
