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 differ-

ent 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).

5.3 Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:

This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia dis-

orders during measurement and if necessary indicates the

measurement with the flashing icon

This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a

condition 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 ex-

cessively 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

ascertained 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 during 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:

According to WHO Guidelines/Definitions and the latest find-

ings, the test results can be classified and evaluated accord-

ing to the following chart:

Range of blood pressure values Systolic (in mmHg) Diastolic (in mmHg) Measure

Grade 3: Severe hypertension >=180 >=110 Seek medical advice

Grade 2: Moderate hypertension 160 -179 100 -109 Seek medical advice

Grade 1: Mild hypertension 140 -159 90 - 99 Have it checked regularly by doctor

High-normal 130 -139 85 - 89 Have it checked regularly by doctor

Normal 120 -129 80 - 84 Check it yourself

Optimal <120 <80 Check it yourself
