What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out
of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its
maximum value in the cycle, which is called
systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax,
the blood pressure reaches its minimum value
in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of Irregular Heartbeat
(IHB) Detector. During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals
and works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 25%,
this equipment will light up the IHB symbol on the screen when displaying the measuring
result.
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an
irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for
concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice.
Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect
pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please
contact a physician if your measuring result falls out of the
range. Kindly note that only a physician could tell whether
your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.
The blood pressure classification published by
World Health Organization (WHO) and
International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in
1999 is as follows:
SYS

<120
<80
120-129
80-84

85-89
140-159

CAUTION
1. Individual blood pressure varies
every in one day, it also affected by the
way you tie your cuff and the your
measurement position, so please take
the measurement at the same condition.
2.The varies of the pressure is
greater if the person take medicine.
3.Waiting at least 3 minutes for
another measurement.
Why does my blood
pressure fluctuate
throughout the day?
If the result is the same
if measuring on the
right arm?
It is ok for both arms, but there
will be some different results for
different person, so suggest you
measure the same arm every time.
Why the blood pressure
I get from the hospital
is different from home?
The blood pressure is different even
during 24 hour because of the
weather,emotion, exercise etc,
specially the “white coat” in hospital
which makes the results are higher
than the ones at home.
The attention need to pay
when you measure your blood
pressure at home:
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the upper arm.
If you feel anxious pressured.
You had better take deep breath 2-3
times before beginning.
Advice:adjust yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.
