6. This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations. Otherwise, the patient’s wrist and fingers may become numb, swollen, and even purple due to a lack of blood.

ABOUT BLOOD CIRCULATION AND PRESSURE

Blood circulation is responsible for supplying the body with oxygen from the lungs. During each heartbeat cycle, the blood pressure exerted on the arteries varies between a maximum (systolic) and a minimum (diastolic) pressure.

The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure or top value) represents the blood pressure produced by the heart muscle when it contracts and pumps the blood out of the heart.

The diastolic blood pressure value (lower pressure or lower value) represents the blood pressure produced in between heartbeats when the heart muscle relaxes.

Systolic Blood Pressure

Diastolic Blood Pressure

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT?

An irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all heartbeat intervals while the unit is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Normal Heartbeat

Irregular Heartbeat

This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detector. During each measurement, the monitor records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, this device will record an IHB.

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, 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.

RECALLING RECORDS

Recalling Records in Memory

1. When the monitor is off, press “MEM” button to access the memory. The LCD will display the average value of the most recent readings first
