IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT DETECTOR
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) Detector. During each
measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value
is larger than or equal to 15, this equipment will light up the IHB symbol on the screen when displaying the measuring
result.
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected
during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend
you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect
pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Why my blood pressure varies even in one day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies during the day. It also affected by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement
position, so please take the measurement under similar conditions.
2. The varies of the pressure is greater if the person take medicine.
3. Waiting at least 4-5 minutes for another measurement.
Why the blood pressure I get from the hospital is different from home?
The blood pressure is different even during 24 hour because of the weather,emotion, exercise etc, specially the “white coat”
in hospital which makes the results are higher than the ones at home. The attention you need to pay when you measure
your blood pressure at home:
• If the cuff is tied properly.
• If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
• If the cuff is tied on the wrist.
• If you feel anxious pressured.
You had better take deep breath 2-3 times before beginning.
Advice: adjust yourself for 4-5 minutes until you calm down.
If the result is the same if measuring on the right wrist?
It is ok for both wrists, but there will be some different results for different person, so suggest you measure the same wrist
every time.
