When the heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings about a rise in pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and is the first value to be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressure in the arteries also falls.

Consult your doctor. • Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120 mmHg require immediate medical treatment.
2G-IB-edit for NF1-2B_rev_2.3:MLU3AC1-JAN05-2 14-11-20 10:25 Page 11 WARNING Blood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health risk as blood pressure that is too high! Fits of dizziness may lead to dangerous situations arising (e.g. on stairs or in traffic)! 2.6. Fluctuations in blood pressure There are many factors that can influence blood pressure. Readings can be affected seriously by stress, fear, heavy physical exertion or the time of day at which the measurements are taken.

The 3/MAM-mode is to be recommended if you suffer from severely fluctuating blood pressure. 3 successive readings are taken at 15 second intervals, thus eliminating widely varying readings. In the case of serious deviations, a 4th reading may be taken.

The tube should run along the centre of the inner arm towards the palm of the hand. Ensure that the cuff itself is not twisted in any way. Fasten the pressure cuff in such a way that it fits tightly but does not constrict the arm. 4.2. Correct position for taking readings • Take readings while in a seated position.

Check the connections and repeat the measurement. Err 5 An average value could not be calculated due to unstable conditions while the readings were being taken. Repeat the measuring process, keeping your arm still and not speaking.
