What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
press
artery
vein
blood discharging
Systolic
relax
blood entering
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.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an
irregular heartbeat 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.
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if
your measuring result falls out of the range. Please note that only a physician
can tell whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.
The chart on the right is the
standard blood pressure
classification published by
American Heart
Association (AHA).

AHA Home Guideline for
Upper Limit of Normal BP
SYS 135 mm Hg
DIA 85 mm Hg
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is
measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.During each measurement,
this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation.
If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 25%,the irregular heartbeat symbol
appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.
