IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent
with an irregular heartbeat was detected during
measurement. Usually, this is not a cause
for concern. However, if the symbol appears
often, we recommend you seek medical advice.
Please note that the device does not replace a
cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse
irregularities at an early stage.
Movement, shaking, or talking during the
measurement can result in pulse irregularities that may cause the appearance
of this icon. Therefore, it is of great importance to not move or talk during
measurement.
To determine the presence of an irregular heartbeat, the average of the
heartbeat intervals is calculated with the first 3 normal eective heartbeat
values. It is important to note that the average is not a strict mathematical
averaging of all recorded intervals. At least 3 beats with 25% or greater
dierence from the average heartbeat interval will generate the icon on
the screen.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
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.
Why do my readings vary?
Blood pressure is a body parameter that is subject to normal variations
throughout the day. A single reading that is dierent from your and your doctor’s
readings are not necessarily inaccurate. The average of several readings, taken
under similar conditions, using the same arm, is preferred for accurate blood
pressure readings.
Why are my readings dierent than those taken at my doctor’s oce?
Many experience a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension” when
measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to blood pressure that rises
above its usual level when measured in a clinical setting, such as a doctor’s oce.
BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD
The table below contains defined levels of hypertension from the World Health
Organization (WHO). The WHO has established globally accepted standards from the
assessment for high blood pressure readings. Users can compare their own blood
pressure readings against these defined levels to determine if they may potentially be
at increased risk. This table is applicable to most adults age 18 and older.

Severe Hypertension (Grade 3) -Red
Moderate Hypertension (Grade 2) -Orange
Mild Hypertension (Grade 1) -Yellow
High-Normal -Green
Normal -Green
Optimal -Green
Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally don’t have
high readings. If your numbers stay above the “normal” range most of the time,
you may be at increased risk and should consult your physician.
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 an
increased risk.
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
WHO 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.
NOTE: This blood pressure
monitor uses defined levels for
hypertension from World Health
Organization (WHO). This table
provides the American Heart
Association blood pressure
guidelines (AHA 2017) for your
reference. You can compare
your readings to this chart to
know where your measurement
falls according to the AHA 2017
defined levels for hypertension.
