7051_E.book Page 19 Friday, July 15, 2005 4:36 PM 3.Using the Unit 2. Check the measurement results. The unit automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate into its memory. Refer to “3.5 Using the Memory Function”. Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Pulse display The buzzer will sound when measurement is completed. Notes: • Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
7051_E.book Page 20 Friday, July 15, 2005 4:36 PM 3.Using the Unit • Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats can influence the results of the measurement. The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically determines if the measurement is usable or needs to be repeated. If the measurement results are affected by irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular heartbeat icon.
7051_E.book Page 21 Friday, July 15, 2005 4:36 PM 3.Using the Unit 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.
7051_E.book Page 22 Friday, July 15, 2005 4:36 PM 3.Using the Unit 3.4 Instructions for special conditions If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press and hold the O/I START button until the arm cuff inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your suspected systolic pressure. 1.

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart's cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.
