HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses Smart Sense™ Technology to detect
your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the
cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow
through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts.
Smart Sense™ Technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level
for each individual. 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.
Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's
Risk Category Indicator will alert you if your reading
falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or
stage 2 hypertension categories. See page 20 for more
information on the Risk Category Indicator.
