3. After all symbols disappear, the display will
show a blinking “0”. The monitor is
“Ready to
Measure”
and will
automatically
inflate the
cuff to start measurement.
4. Once your systolic pressure is determined, the monitor
will begin deflating to measure your diastolic pressure.
Note:
This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the
system detects that your body requires more
pressure for measurement.
5. When the measurement is
completed, the cuff will deflate
entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic
pressure and pulse will be shown
simultaneously on the LCD screen.
The measurement is then
automatically stored into
20
19
memory.
Note:
1. This monitor automatically turns off approximately
1
minute
after last operation. You may also press the
START/STOP button
to turn the unit off.
2. To interrupt the measurement, you may press
the
START/STOP
(recommended),
“MEM”,
User-Select
or
Date/Time Set buttons
. The cuff
will deflate immediately after a button is pressed.
RISK CATEGORY INDICATOR
The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services and the National Institutes of Health
have
developed a blood pressure standard classifying
blood pressure ranges into 4 stages. This unit is
equipped with an innovative blood pressure classifi-
cation indicator, which visually indicates the assumed
risk level (normal, prehypertension, stage 1 hyperten-
sion, or stage 2 hypertension) of each reading.
Symbols are described below and classifications fol-
low the guidelines as described earlier in this manual
