Measurement specification: 

The total measurement time for a full measurement cycle is less than 3 
minutes, as opposed to a single measurement time of about 1.5 minutes.

Single results are not displayed.

Based on data analysis result, a 4

th

 measurement may be applied.

2.4   Irregular 

h

eartbeat 

d

etection (IHD) 

The appearance of the symbol 

 indicates that certain pulse irregularity is 

detected during measurement. This may cause results to vary from your normal 
blood pressure levels. In general, this is not a cause for concern. However, if the 
symbol appears more frequently than usual, it is recommended that you consult 
with your healthcare provider. 

If SmartCheck™ measurement mode is used, irregular heartbeat detected during 
measurement will not affect results (see section 2.3 for more information).   

Note:

 The device detects early stage pulse irregularities. It is not a replacement 

for cardiac examination.

ndication 

The colored bars on the left edge of the display indicate the range within which 
the measured blood pressure values lie. Depending on the height (or number) of 
the bars, the measured values are either within the normal (green), 
elevated/hypertension stage 1 (yellow) or hypertension stage 2 (orange/red) 
range. The classification corresponds to the 4 levels as defined by the American 
Heart Association (AHA). Please refer to the table in section 2.2 to learn more.   

In addition, the 3-color backlight display shows different color according to the 
measured blood pressure values. Readings in the classification range of 1 is shown 
in green backlight, classification ranges of 2, 3 in yellow backlight and 
classification ranges of 4, 5, 6 in red backlight.
