MEASUREMENT ON INFLATION
Initially the cuff is rapidly inflated to the prescribed value
at the beginning of a measurement, during which the
inflation mark is displayed. After the pressure reaches
this point, the inflation mark disappears and the cuff is
inflated more gradually, during which pulse wave is
detected. As pulse wave is detected, heart mark flashes
with synchronizing beep. Measurement ends when
systolic blood pressure is determined and air is
exhausted from the cuff.
PERSONAL MODE
The inflation is adjusted based on the latest three
readings in the selected bank, either [1] or [2], to shorten
the measurement time and to improve comfort.
For example, high diastolic blood pressure values from
past three measurements will lead to inflation to higher
pressure value than the default value. In the event that
this value is too high for your current blood pressure,
the cuff will rapidly deflate and measurement will
restart.
To use the personal mode effectively, chose the memory bank before starting a
measurement. This monitor remembers the last memory bank that was displayed. To
choose the memory bank before starting a measurement, display a reading saved in the
desired memory bank, turn off the monitor once and then start measurement.
WHO CLASSIFICATION SYMBOL
Measured blood pressure values are classified against WHO guideline (1999).
The higher class applies when systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different classes.
For specific information on your blood pressure, contact your physician. Never make any
judgment on your own based on the classification indication only.

AN EXAMPLE OF PRESSURE
While systolic blood pressure keeps increasing with age, diastolic blood pressure tends to
CHANGE DETERMINED WITH
start decreasing at around age 50. Pulse pressure is value subtracting diastolic value from
"PERSONAL MODE"
diastolic value and therefore pulse pressure tends to increase with age. Pulse pressure
has been considered to be related to stiffness of artery and has been studied as one of
circulatory risk factors. It is sometimes said that 45 mmHg of pulse pressure is normal
value. Pulse pressure only does not represent arterial sclerosis. However, observation of
pulse pressure in long term will be important.
BODY MOTION SYMBOL
Blood pressure value taken while moving cannot be said to be the correct value because
body movement can affect blood pressure.
