What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?

Diastolic
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?
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular
heart-beat 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.
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is
measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.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,the irregular heartbeat symbol
appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.
Put in a dry place and avoid the sunshine
Avoid intense shaking
and collisions
Using wet cloths to remove dirt
Avoid touching water,
clean it with a dry cloth in case.
Avoid dusty and unstable
temperature environment
Do not attempt to clean the reusable cuff
with water and never immerse the cuff in
water.
The chart on the right is the
standard blood pressure
classification published by
American Heart Association
(AHA).
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your
measuring result falls out of the range. Please note that only a physician can tell
whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.
