How This Blood Pressure Monitor Works - HoMedics BPA-065 Manual Del Usuario

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 in helping you to understand your
noninvasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the American
Heart Association (AHA 2017) 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 Smart Measure™ Technology to detect
your blood pressure. This technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate at the appropriate level for each
individual. With the touch of a button, the cuff will automatically
inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the
deflation process starts. 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 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 19
for more information on this feature.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularly
consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during
measurement. Refer to page 20 for more information on the
Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
