In this case too, the value is stored in the
selected or most recently used user
memory.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking
another measurement!
Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruptions of the heart
rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this
after the measurement with the symbol
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an
illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of
flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heart-
beat. The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats,
pulse being slow or too fast) can be caused by factors
such as heart disease, age, physical make-up, excess
stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only
be determined through an examination by your doctor.
If the symbol
is shown on the display after the
measurement 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.
Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in ac-
cordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in diffe-
rent 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 classified as dangerous.
.
The classification 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 categories (e.g. systole in the 'High normal' cate-
gory and diastole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical
classification on the device always shows the higher ca-
tegory; for the example given this would be 'High normal'.
