WHAT IS AN IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT
ABOUT CUFF INFLATION METER
The UA-767 Plus Blood Pressure Monitor provides a blood pressure and
pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. The
Irregular Heartbeat symbol will appear in the display window in the
event an Irregular Heartbeat has occured during measurement. An irregular
heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the average of all
heartbeat intervals during the blood pressure measurement. It is important
that you relax, remain still and refrain from talking during measurements.
NOTE: We recommend contacting your physician if you see this
symbol frequently.
The Cuff Inflation Meter is located on the left side of the display screen to
tell you when the blood pressure monitor is inflating and deflating the cuff.
The Cuff Inflation Meter moves up during inflation and moves down during
deflation.

ABOUT AVERAGE READING
The UA-767 Plus provides an average blood pressure reading
based on the total measurements stored in memory. When
taking a measurement, the average blood pressure reading will
appear and the number of measurements stored in memory
will flash several times before the cuff begins to inflate.
The Pressure Rating Indicator™ is a feature which
provides a snapshot of your blood pressure classifica-
tion based on your measurements. This will let you
quickly know what your blood pressure readings
mean. Each segment of the bar indicator corresponds
to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee
(JNC7) on Prevention, Evaluation and Treatment of
High Blood Pressure from the National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute - May 2003. For a more detailed
look at this blood pressure classification, please refer to
“Assessing High Blood Pressure” on page E-13.
:The indicator displays a segment, based on the current measurement,
corresponding to the JNC7 Classification.
NOTE: Due to other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.)
in addition to your blood pressure measurement, the Pressure Rating
Indicator is approximate. Please consult with your physician for interpreta-
tion and diagnosis of your blood pressure measurements.
NOTE: Residents outside of the United States (e.g.. Canada and Mexico)
should refer to the WHO Classification Table on page E-13 for assessment
of their blood pressure measurement.
