Display Symbols

Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( )

When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values.

An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician.

Movement Error Symbol ( )

The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2-3 minutes. Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.

Average Value Symbol ( )

The average value symbol is displayed when you press and hold the memory button for more than 3 seconds. The most recent average value appears on the display screen.

Blood Pressure Color Indicator

If your Systolic Blood Pressure is 135 mmHg or above and/or the Diastolic Blood Pressure is 85 mmHg or above, the blood pressure color indicator will light in “orange” when the measurement result is displayed. If the measurements are within the standard range, the blood pressure color indicator will light in “green”.

Before Taking a Measurement

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so that the arm cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
