HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR WORKS This monitor uses innovative GentleInflate™ technology to detect your blood pressure. With one touch of a button, the monitor automatically takes the reading during inflation, then deflates, delivering a quick, comfortable and quiet measurement every time. Please note that any muscle movement during inflation will cause measurement error. When measurement is complete, the monitor will display your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse readings. Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes before measurement as measurements taken in a relaxed state have greater accuracy. The Rest Assure Function provides a helpful countdown of the last 5 minutes of this suggested time*. Refer to page 16 for more information on this feature. The Triple-Check (Multi-Read) Function automatically takes and averages three readings for accuracy you can trust. Refer to page 16 for more information on this feature. The monitor automatically finds where your measurement results fall on the NIH's National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's table and provides a cue if your reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. Please refer to page 29 for more information on this feature. The appearance of the icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Refer to page 30 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector. *JNC7: The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure.
