Blood Pressure Monitor
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The chart on the right is the standard blood pressure classification
published by American Heart Association (AHA):
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies
while the device is measuring systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
During each measurement, the blood pressure monitor will keep a
record of all the pulse intervals and calculate the average value of them.
If either of the following occur, the
irregular heartbeat symbol will
appear on the display with the measurement result:
• You have two or more pulse intervals and the difference between
each interval and the average is more than the average value of ±25%
