3. Using the Unit
Important:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure
is outside the standard range, the
heartbeat symbol will blink when the
measurement result is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the
following values can be used as a
guide to high blood pressure for
measurements taken at home.
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria,
please refer to page 44.
• Your blood pressure monitor
includes an irregular heartbeat
feature. Irregular heartbeats can
influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular
heartbeat algorithm automatically
determines if the measurement is
usable or needs to be repeated. If
the measurement results are
affected by irregular heartbeats but
the result is valid, the result is shown together with the
irregular heartbeat icon. If the irregular heartbeats cause
the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the
irregular heartbeat symbol (
) is shown after you
have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If
the irregular heartbeat icon is shown frequently, please
make your doctor aware of it.
