Important Instructions:

• Ensure that you are not eating, talking, laughing, or smoking for at least 5 minutes before measurement.
• Do not talk, read, eat, or watch television during measurement. Try your best to relax and avoid distractions.
• Stimulants such as caffeine and certain medicines can affect your blood pressure. Taking your blood pressure at the same time every day in a relaxed setting will provide a better picture of your blood pressure over time.
• Using your blood pressure monitor’s Average function is recommended as individual results may vary based on other factors, such as stress, exercise, smoking, ambient temperature, and a recent meal resulting in a full stomach and/or bladder.
• Taking your blood pressure at home and then at your Doctor’s office can sometimes lead to different results, due to the heightened anxiety sometimes experienced when visiting the Doctor.
• Ensure that your arm/wrist and heart are level.
• Taking repeated readings in a rapid fashion can lead to inaccurate measurements. Allow for a few minutes to pass before the next reading, taking care to remain relaxed and calm.
• Always sit upright while taking a measurement and rest your elbow on a flat surface. Do not cross your legs.
• Ensure that thick clothing is removed when taking a measurement.
• Ensure that the wrist cuff is ¼” to ½” away from the bottom of your palm.
• Ensure that the wrist cuff is fitted so as to allow one finger to fit in between your wrist and the cuff.
• Do not place cellular phones near the blood pressure monitor.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?

If an irregular rhythm is detected more than twice during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol with three hearts will appear on the display along with the measurement results.

Note:
The appearance of the IHB 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. Do not use this device as a substitute for proper medical diagnosis and check-ups by your physician.

WHAT IS ARRHYTHMIA?

A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart to contract. Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature contraction, and an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue, etc. The appearance of an irregular heartbeat symbol does indicate arrhythmia. Arrhythmia and other heart conditions can only be properly diagnosed by a doctor through a medical examination.
