make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Irregular
heartbeat can only be determined through an examination by
your doctor.
If the symbol is shown on the display after
the measure-ment has been taken, repeat the measurement.
Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do
not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol
appears frequently, please consult your doctor.
Self-diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can
be dangerous. Always follow your GP’s instructions.
Classication of measurements:
The measurements can be classied and evaluated in accord-
ance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide-
line, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people
and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your
doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood
pressure as well as the value above which your blood pressure
is classied as dangerous.
The classication on the display and the scale on the unit show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If
the values of systole and diastole fall into two different cate-
gories (e.g. systole in the ‚High normal‘ category and diastole
in the ‚Normal‘ category), the graphical classication on the de-
vice always shows the higher category; for the example given
this would be ‚High normal‘.
