d) When the measurement has been concluded, air in the cuff is released. The systolic,
diastolic and pulse values display for about a minute. (Pulse=number of heartbeats each
minute) Example (Fig.): Systolic 118, Diastolic 73, Pulse 75.
5.7. Stopping a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g., the patient
feels unwell), the POWER button can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately
lowers the cuff pressure automatically and enters into sleep mode.
5.8. Irregular heartbeat detection
The irregular heartbeat symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected
during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal basal 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 symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also analyzes pulse
frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested. If pulse irregularities
occur during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed after the
measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g., several times per week on
measurements performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, 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.
5.9. Hypertension risk indicator
The bars on the right-hand edge of the LCD show you the range within which the indicated
blood pressure value lies. Depending on the height of the triangle, the readout value is either
within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (orange, red) range.
The classification is based on standards established by the American Heart Association
(AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) in 2017.
Refer to the chart in section 2.2 of this instruction manual for details of the classifications. A
triangle is displayed to the right of the traffic light bar according to your measurement. If the
display shows a triangle in the:
• green zone, your measurement is "Normal."
• lower yellow zone, it is "Elevated."
• upper yellow zone, it is "Stage 1 Hypertensive."
• orange zone, it is "Stage 2 Hypertensive.”
• lower dark orange zone, it is "Stage 2 Hypertensive.”
• upper dark orange zone, it is "Hypertensive Crisis."
