physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood

considered to be at risk.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses SmartMeasure® technology to detect your blood
pressure. With one touch of the start/stop button, the monitor will turn
on and the inflation will automatically start, creating pressure around the
arteries inside the wrist.
Within the cuff is a gauge which senses the fluctuations (oscillations) in
pressure. The fluctuation measured represents the degree of intensity
that your arteries are contracting with each heartbeat, which is also a
result of the pressure that the cuff has placed on the wrist. The monitor
measures these contractions and converts the information to a digital
value. Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will automatically
deflate, and the result is displayed on the screen.
Please note that any muscle movement during inflation will cause
measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will
display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.
Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes
before measurement as measurements taken in a relaxed state have
greater accuracy. The Rest Assure Function provides a helpful countdown
of the last 5 minutes of this suggested time*. Refer to page 17 for more
information on this feature.
The Triple-Check (Multi-Read) Function automatically takes and averages
three readings for accuracy you can trust. Refer to page 17 for more
information on this feature.
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 29 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 30 for more information on the Irregular
Heartbeat Detector.
