Symbol Information:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside
the standard range, the Heartbeat symbol
(
) will blink when the measurement result
is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the following
values can be used as a guide to high blood
pressure for measurements taken at home.
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement
criteria, please refer to Chapter 8.
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular
heartbeats can influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular heartbeat
algorithm automatically determines if the
measurement is usable or needs to be
repeated. If the measurement results are affected by
irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is
shown together with the irregular heartbeat icon. If the
irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be
invalid, no result is shown. If the Irregular heartbeat
symbol (
) is shown after you have taken a
measurement, repeat the measurement. If the Irregular
heartbeat symbol (
) is shown frequently, please
make your doctor aware of it.
