Alarm function signals high blood pressure Blood pressure values for both systolic and diastolic readings are determined and indicated via a three-color LED system as being within normal or hypertensive ranges based on definitions and classification of blood pressure levels by the JNC 7. Moreover, when blood pressure is in the high range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user. According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg (Sys.) and/or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure. LED Color Diastolic (mmHg) Hypertension 140 (Stage 1, Stage 2) 120 90 Yellow Prehypertension 90 80 80 Green Normal 120 140 (mmHg) Systolic • If the measured blood Systolic blood pressure: pressure value is in the high 140mmHg or higher blood pressure region, the izoo • Diastolic blood pressure: values will blink for 90mmHg or higher approximately 12 seconds. (Only immediately after measurement) O (7) If measurements could not be taken properly The remeasure mark E will be displayed. When taking successive measurements, press the On/Off Start E button to switch off the blood pressure monitor once and stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes, and then take the next measurement. Advice: In general, blood pressure measurements are lower for the second measurement because you are less nervous and are more tranquil. For people who easily get tense, measuring twice each time is very effective. When two measurements are taken, normally the smaller measurement is stored. When taking two measurements, always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the first measurement before taking the second measurement 17
