Inaccurate measurement results can occur with patients with the following
conditions: high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease, hardened arteries,
heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias), poor circulation, etc.
8.2. The measuring technology of the device
Your blood pressure measurement device contains high-quality technical
components and materials for measuring pressure, processing the signals and
displaying the values on a liquid crystal display. It also measures and displays
your pulse rate.
The device measures blood pressure by using a cuff around the arm. Inflating
the cuff presses the arteries together so that no more blood can flow through
them. The values are determined whilst the pressure rises in the cuff.
The device has electronic step valves that can detect even slight changes
during the measurement, which can be evened out using the cuff pressure.
By increasing the pressure step-by-step, fluctuations in the cuff are recorded
by the device and included in the assessment. If no fluctuations are recorded
for a step, the air pressure is increased.
