HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORkS
This monitor uses Smart Measure™ Technology to
detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a button,
the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow
through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts.
Smart Measure™ Technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level
for each individual. Please note that any muscle move-
ment during inflation or deflation will cause measure-
ment error. When measurement is complete, the monitor
will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure,
and pulse readings.
The monitor automatically finds where your measure-
ment results fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute’s table and provides a cue if your read-
ing falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. Please refer to page 20 for
more information on this feature.
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse
irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was
detected during measurement. Refer to page 21 for
more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector.
