RISK CATEGORY INDEX
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category
Index that automatically compares each reading to
defined levels established by the American Heart
Association (AHA) as described earlier in this manual,
and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls in
the normal range as defined by AHA. 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 AHA 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.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR (IHB)
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 effective 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
difference from the average heartbeat interval will generate
the
icon on the screen.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This blood pressure monitor is not designed for use by
people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an
arrhythmia problem. As a safeguard, we recommend that if
you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you
should check with your physician before using your blood
pressure monitor.
