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 doctor’s instructions.
Risk indicator:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance
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 pres-
sure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is
classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the device
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 dia-
stole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical classification on the
device always shows the higher category; for the example given
this would be 'High normal'.
