Diastolic
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.
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heart-
beat 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.
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring
the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.During each measurement, the monitor records all the
pulse intervals and calculate the average ; if there are two or more pulse intervals ,the difference
between each interval and the average is more than the average value of ±25% , or there are four
or more pulse intervals ,the difference between each interval and the average is more than the
average value of ±15%,the irregular heartbeat symbol appears on the display when the
measurement results are appeared.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The chart on the right is the
standard blood pressure classifi-
cation published by American
Heart Association (AHA).
Please consult a physician if your measuring result falls outside the range.
Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value
has reached a dangerous point.
