4. Rest arm on table with cuff at heart level. Relax, do not talk or move.
5. Press START/STOP button. Device will inflate automatically.
6. Remain still until measurement completes and cuff deflates fully.
7. Results display with systolic, diastolic, pulse, and any detection symbols.
8. Device automatically stores reading and powers off after 1 minute.

WARNING! Do not inflate cuff repeatedly in quick succession. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements.

Understanding Results

Blood Pressure Values: Systolic (upper number), Diastolic (lower number) in mmHg.

WHO Indicator Colors:

• Green: Optimal/Normal (Systolic: <120, Diastolic: <80)
• Yellow: High-Normal/Mild Hypertension (Systolic: 120-139, Diastolic: 80-89)
• Orange: Moderate Hypertension (Systolic: 140-159, Diastolic: 90-99)
• Red: Severe Hypertension (Systolic: ≥160, Diastolic: ≥100)

Symbols:

• AFIB: Possible atrial fibrillation detected - consult physician.
• Irregular Heartbeat: Irregular pulse detected during measurement.
• User Icon: Shows whether reading is stored under User 1 or 2.

Memory Function
