3. Press START/STOP button. Cuff inflates automatically.
4. Remain still and quiet during measurement.
5. Reading displays: Systolic, Diastolic, Pulse rate.
6. WHO indicator lights show classification (green=normal, yellow=elevated, red=high).
7. If AFIB symbol appears, note irregular heartbeat detected.
8. Device deflates and powers off automatically.

WARNING! Do not move or talk during measurement. Wait 3 minutes between readings.

AFIB Detection

Patented technology screens for atrial fibrillation.

• During measurement, device analyzes pulse rhythm.
• AFIB symbol appears if irregular heartbeat pattern is detected.
• Detection sensitivity: >30 irregular beats during measurement.
• This screening is not a diagnosis; consult physician if symbol appears frequently.
• AFIB detection works alongside standard blood pressure measurement.

Important: AFIB detection may be less accurate in presence of frequent extrasystoles or other arrhythmias.
