The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate

the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded.

If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two dif-

ferent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and

diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic WHO clas-

sification on the unit indicates the higher range (high-normal in

the example described).

Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:

This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia

disorders during measurement and if necessary indicates the

measurement with the flashing icon

This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-

tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects

in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The

symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or exces-

sively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things, by

heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use of

stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be as-

certained through examination by your doctor.

Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed

after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for

5 minutes between measurements and not talk or move dur-

ing the measurement. If the icon appears often, please

contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based

on the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your

doctor’s instructions.

WHO classification:

In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World

Health Organization and the latest findings, the measurements

can be classified and assessed according to 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 pres-

sure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is

classified as dangerous.
