The WHO classification in the display shows the range of the

measured blood pressure.

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

ferent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the grade

hypertension

range and diastolic pressure in the normal range), the WHO

classification on the unit always indicates the higher range

(grade

hypertension in the example described).

5.6 Resting indicator measurement (using HSD diagnostics)

The most frequent error made when measuring blood pressure

is taking the measurement when not at rest (haemodynamic

stability), which means that both the systolic and the diastolic

blood pressures are incorrect in this case. During blood pres-

sure measurement, the device automatically determines wheth-

er the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest or not.

If there is no indication that the circulatory system is not suf-

ficiently at rest,

(haemodynamic stability) is displayed and

the measurement can be recorded as a reliable resting blood

pressure value.

: Haemodynamic stability

Measurement of the systolic and diastolic pressure is increased

when the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest and is a very

reliable indicator of resting blood pressure. However, if the cir-

culatory system is not sufficiently at rest (haemodynamic insta-

bility), the symbol

is displayed.

In this case, the measurement should be repeated after a pe-

riod of physical and mental rest. The blood pressure measure-

ment must be taken when the patient is physically and mentally

rested, as it will be the basis for a diagnosis and regulation of

the patient’s medical treatment.

: Lack of haemodynamic stability

It is very probable that the measurement of systolic and dias-

tolic blood pressure has not been carried out at rest and has

therefore distorted the measurement.

Repeat the measurement after a rest and relaxation period of at

least 5 minutes. Go to a sufficiently calm and comfortable spot

and remain there calmly; close your eyes, breathe deeply and

evenly and try to relax.

Table for classification of blood pressure values (unit of measurement mmHg) for adults:

Range Systolic Diastolic Action

Hypotonia (degraded blood pressure) lower than 105 lower than 60 Check with doctor

Normal range between 105 and 120 between 60 and 80 Self check

Pre-hypertensive blood pressure range*

between 120 and 140 between 80 and 90 Check with doctor

High blood pressure - degree

between 140 and 160 between 90 and 100 Consult your doctor

High blood pressure - degree

higher than 160 higher than 100

Consult your doctor
