Attention:
In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this instrument should only
be evaluated after consultation with a physician.
Note:
To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument, it is
recommended that the instrument be used within the specified temperature and the
relative humidity, please see the Technical Specifications.

2 Important Information on Blood Pressure and its Measurement
2.1 How does high or low blood pressure arise?
Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and adjusts to a variety of
situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and speed
of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is
controlled by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls.
Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity: During the "blood ejection"
(Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the heart's "rest period"
(Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).
