HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS This monitor uses Smart Sense™ Technology to detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the cuff will automatically inflate to block the blood flow through your artery. Next, the deflation process starts. Smart Sense™ Technology enables the monitor to automatically inflate and deflate to the appropriate level for each individual. Please note that any muscle movement during inflation or deflation will cause measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings. Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's Risk Category Indicator will alert you if your reading falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or stage 2 hypertension categories. See page 21 for more information on the Risk Category Indicator. This monitor also features an irregular heartbeat (IHB) detector that will alert the user to the presence of an irregu- lar heartbeat. It is strongly recommended that you consult your physician if the IHB symbol appears often (five times or more in a row). See page 22 for more information on the IHB Detector. / 7 START STOP NAME/FUNCTION OF EACH PART Smart Fit™ Arm Cuff Date/Time Set Buttons (Located on back of unit) On/Off Switch (Located on back of unit.)
