Important:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the standard range, the blood
pressure colour indicator will light in orange when the measurement result is
displayed. If they are within the standard range, the blood pressure colour
indicator will light in green.
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 7.
• 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.
• If you move during measurement, the movement error symbol (
) will appear on the
display. Keep still and repeat the measurement.
