3 Introduction
3.1 General information about blood pressure
• Your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day.
A normal maximum for adults would be a blood pressure
of 140/90 mmHg.
(Recommendations for measuring blood pressure, German Society of
Hypertension, Heidelberg, 2001)
• If you monitor your blood pressure regularly, you will
discover more about your body’s reactions to external
influences (e.g. stress or exercise) and will be able
to develop a healthier lifestyle.
• Please take your PressureTel
™
with you to each doctor’s
appointment. In case your doctor does not have an inter-
net connected PC in his office, you may bring along a
printed version of your log book. Your doctor will be able
to evaluate your data and will thereby be in a better
position to care for your health.
3.2 Intended Use
• PressureTel
™
is intended for home monitoring of blood
pressure and pulse.
• Never change your medication on the basis of results you
have obtained. The evaluation of the measurements and
the treatment based on them may only be carried out by
the attending physician.
