The appearance of the

Heartbeat Detector.
Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings
fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category
Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels
and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages
that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 20 for more
information on this feature.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to
assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for
convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure
reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are not a substitute
for a medical examination by your physician. It is important for you to
consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your
normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may
actually be considered to be at risk.
HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses innovative GentleInflate™ technology to detect
your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the monitor
automatically takes the reading during inflation, then deflates,
delivering a quick, comfortable and quiet measurement every time.
The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results
fall on the NIH’s National Heart Lung and Blood Institute’s table and
provides a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could
potentially indicate increased risk. See page 20 for more information
on this feature.
