9. Assessing high blood pressure for adults
The following guidelines for assessing high blood pressure (without regard
to age or gender) have been established by the World Health Organization
(WHO). Please note that other factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.)
need to be taken into consideration. Consult with your physician for accurate
assessment, and never change your treatment by yourself.
10. Technical alarm description
The monitor will show ‘HI’ or ‘Lo’ as technical alarm on LCD with no delay
if the determined blood pressure (systolic or diastolic) is outside the rated
range specied in part SPECIFICATIONS. In this case, you should consult
a physician or check if your operation violated the instructions.
The technical alarm condition (outside the rated range) is preset in the factory
and cannot be adjusted or inactivated. This alarm condition is assigned as
low priority according to IEC 60601-1-8. The technical alarm is non-latching
and need no reset. The signal displayed on LCD will disappear automatically
after about 8 seconds.
