TES 4650

IIRREGULAR HEARTBEAT SYMBOL

When the unit detects an irregular rhythm two or
more times during the measurement, the irregular
heartbeat Symbol will appear on the display with the
measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm
that is more than 25% slower or 25% faster from the
average rhythm detected while the monitor is
measuring the systolic blood pressure and the
diastolic blood pressure. If the Irregular Heartbeat
Symbol (IHB) displays with your measurement results,
we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the
directions of your doctor.

BEFORE TAKING A MESUREMENT

Follow these instructions before taking a measurement:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising and bathing for 30 minutes before taking a
measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3. The cuff can be applied to your left or right wrist. Always measure your blood pressure on the same
Arm.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Position the unit at heart level throughout the measurement.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement
does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record
several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each
day for consistency.
8. Wait 30-60 seconds between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the
condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time
depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
