HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This monitor uses advanced DK Technology™ to
detect your blood pressure. With a microphone built
into the arm cuff, DK Technology™ actually listens like
your doctor when taking a reading. Exclusive DK
Technology™ delivers accurate measurements by using
both pressure and sound. With one press of a button,
the device will automatically inflate to measure your
systolic pressure. It will then begin deflating to measure
your diastolic pressure. When the measurement is
completed, it will display your systolic pressure,
diastolic pressure, and pulse readings.
Based upon your measurement results, the monitor's
Risk Category Indicator will alert you if your reading
falls into the pre-hypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or
stage 2 hypertension risk categories. See page 21 for
more information on the Risk Category Indicator.
This monitor also features an irregular heartbeat (IHB)
detector that will alert the user to the presence of an irregu-
lar heartbeat. It is strongly recommended that you consult
your physician if the IHB symbol appears often (five
times or more in a row). See page 22 for more information
on the IHB Detector.
