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 Chapter 8 “Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure”.
• 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 symbol. 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 symbol is shown frequently, please make your
doctor aware of it.
