2.Important Information on Blood Pressure
and its Measurement
2.1. How does high or low blood pressure arise?
Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain
and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous
system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and speed of the heart (Pulse),
as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered.Blood vessel width
is controlled by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls.
Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity:
During the “blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood
pressure value). At the end of the heart’s “rest period” (Diastole) pressure is
lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).
2.2. Which values are normal?

Note:
This device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid
strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of
the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens) during use.
These can lead to erratic results.

Caution:
To avoid damaging the device, keep this unit away from children
and pets.
Caution:
The standard material used for the bladder and tubing is latex-free.
Attention:
Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment.
Unusual values must always be discussed with a
physician
.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any
drugs prescribed by a
physician
.
Attention:
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of
heart pacemakers!
Attention:
In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with a
physician
.
Note:
To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure
instrument, it is recommended that the instrument be used within
the specified temperature and the relative humidity, please see
the Technical Specifications.
Note:
The cuff is treated as the applied part.The user should contact
the manufacturer for assistance, if needed, in setting up, using
or maintaining the device.
