be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical
make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Ar-
rhythmia can only be determined through an examination by
your doctor. If the symbol is shown on the display after
the measurement has been taken, it should be repeated.
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.
Risk indicator:
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 different
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 bar chart 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 category and
diastole in the Normal category), the graphical classification
on the device always shows the higher category; for the
example given this would be High normal.
