Cardiac arrhythmia
The device can identify heart rhythm abnormalities during
the blood pressure measurement. If
the measurement, this indicates that an irregularity has been
detected in your pulse.
Repeat the measurement if
When assessing your blood pressure, only use the results
that have been recorded without any irregularities in your
pulse.
Consult your doctor if
can determine, through an examination, whether there is an
abnormality.

The risk indicator
indicates which category the recorded
15
blood pressure values fall into. If the measured values are in
two different categories (e.g. systolic pressure in the "high
normal" range and diastolic pressure in the "normal" range),
the risk indicator always indicates the higher range – "high
normal" in the example described.
Note that these default values are for general guidance
only, as individual blood pressures may vary.
Please note that self-measurement at home usually results
in values lower than those recorded at a doctor's surgery.
Consult your doctor at regular intervals. Only they are able to
give you personal target values for controlled blood pressure,
particularly if you are receiving medical therapy.
Low blood pressure
WARNING
Low blood pressure (hypotension) can be a health hazard
and cause dizziness or fainting. Blood pressure is considered
low if systolic and diastolic pressure are below 90/60 mmHG
(source: National Health Service, 2023).
Seek medical attention if you suddenly suffer from low blood
pressure.
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common forms of cardi-
ac arrhythmia and is characterised by an irregular heartbeat
