Resting Indicator
A common error made when taking a blood pressure
measurement is not ensuring the user's circulatory system
and diastolic blood pressure values do not correspond to
proper blood pressure levels. This blood pressure monitor
uses integrated haemodynamic stability diagnostics (HSD)
to indicate whether the blood pressure was taken when the
