Blood Pressure Level Indicator
Blood pressure level indicator is located along the left side in the
display. The classification corresponds to ESH (European Society of
Hypertension) ranges described in the table of the section «Which
values are normal?». After the measurement there appears the bars
in the left part of the display: green zone - optimal blood pressure,
yellow - elevated, orange - too high, red - dangerously high. This
function helps you to self-orient in the measurement results.
Irregular Heartbeat Detection
This function indicates allorhythmic heartbeating. If the symbol of
IHD appears on the display that means that certain abnormality
in heart beat frequency was detected during the measurement.
In this case, the result may deviate from your normal blood pressure
- repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for
concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g.
several times a week with measurements taken daily) we advise you
to tell your doctor. Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is
clinically tested.
The symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse
irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears
more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements
performed daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
