What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery
walls while blood flows through the arteries. The
pressure measured when the heart contracts and
sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest)
blood pressure. The pressure measured when the
heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart
is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your
Blood Pressure?

Among today’s various health problems, those
associated with high blood pressure are very common.
High blood pressure dangerously correlates with
cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure
monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

Categories for Blood Pressure Levels in Adults

For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood
pressure, are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not
have other conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease.

To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall
into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.

There is an exception to the above definition of high blood
pressure for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high
blood pressure for those individuals.

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category
Indicator to visually indicate the assumed risk level of
each reading based upon these standards. See page
20 for more information on this feature.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

and the National Institutes of Health

a blood pressure standard that identifies areas of low­and high-risk blood pressure. This standard, however,
is a general guideline as an individual’s blood pressure
varies among different people, age groups, etc.

have developed

It is important that you consult with your physician
regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal
blood pressure range as well as the point at which
you will be considered at risk.

For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,
keeping long-term records is recommended.

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS

This monitor uses Smart Sense™ Technology to detect
your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the
cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow
through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts.
Smart Sense™ Technology enables the monitor to
automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level
for each individual. Please note that any muscle move­ment during inflation or deflation will cause measure­ment error. When measurement is complete, the moni­tor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pres­sure, and pulse readings.

Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's

falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or
stage 2 hypertension categories. See page 20 for more
information on the Risk Category Indicator.

Important Notes:

• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is

in constant fluctuation throughout the day.

• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the

position of the user, his or her physiologic condition
and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1
hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking
beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking
to measure blood pressure.

• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit

quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken
during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy.
You should not be physically tired or exhausted
while taking a measurement.

• During the measurement, do not talk or move your

arm or hand muscles.

• See page 25 for additional notes regarding your

blood pressure measurement.

If you are using this blood pressure monitor for the first
time, please remove the protective film from the screen.

1. Press the

User Select Button to choose User 1

or User 2.

OR

After the user number is selected, press the
START/STOP button to confirm the chosen user.

2. With the cuff wrapped around your arm, press the

START/STOP button. Do not inflate the cuff unless it
is wrapped around your arm. All digits will light up to
check the display functions. The checking procedure
will be completed after about 2 seconds.

3. After all symbols disappear, the display will
show a blinking “0”. The monitor is

“Ready to

Measure” and will automatically inflate the

cuff to start measurement.

(No Symbol)

will begin deflating to measure your diastolic pressure.

Note: This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the

system detects that your body requires more
pressure for measurement.

5. When the measurement is completed, the cuff will
deflate entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure
and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD
screen.

stored into memory.

The measurement is then automatically

Note:

1. This monitor automatically turns off approximately 1
minute after last operation. You may also press the
START/STOP button to turn the unit off.

2. To interrupt the measurement, you may press the

START/STOP (recommended), “MEM”, User­Select

or Date/Time Set buttons. The cuff will

RISK CATEGORY INDICATOR

The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services and the National Institutes of Health have

developed a blood pressure standard classifying
blood pressure ranges into 4 stages. This unit is
equipped with an innovative blood pressure classifi­cation indicator, which visually indicates the assumed
risk level (normal, prehypertension, stage 1 hyperten­sion, or stage 2 hypertension) of each reading.
Symbols are described below and classifications fol­low the guidelines as described earlier in this manual
(page 5).
