Diastolic
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is called systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heart-beat 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.
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your measuring result falls out of the range. Please note that only a physician can tell whether your blood pressure value has reached a dangerous point.
The chart on the right is the standard blood pressure classification published by American Heart Association (AHA).

An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is
measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.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,the irregular heartbeat symbol appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day? Is the result the same if measuring on the right arm? Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared to the hospital?

1. Individual blood pressure varies
multiple times everyday. It is also affected by the way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so please take the measurement under the same conditions.
2.If the person takes medicine, the
pressure will vary more.
3.Wait at least 3 minutes for another
measurement.
The blood pressure is different even
throughout the day due to weather, emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is the “white coat” effect, which means blood pressure usually increases in clinical settings.
What you need to pay
attention to 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 upper arm. If you feel anxious. Taking 2-3 deep breaths before
beginning will be better for measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.
It is ok for both arms, but there
will be some different results for different people. We suggest you measure the same arm every time.
