• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers!
• In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
Electromagnetic interference
The device contains sensitive electronic components (Microcomputer). Therefore,
avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device
(e.g. mobile telephones, microwave cookers). These can lead to temporary
impairment of the measuring accuracy.
2. Important Information of
Blood-Pressure Measurement
2.1 How does high/low blood-pressure arise?
The level of blood-pressure is determined in a part of the brain, the so-called
circulatory center, and adapted to the respective situation by way of feedback via
the nervous system. To adjust the blood-pressure, the strength and frequency of
the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered. The
latter is effected by way of fine muscles in the blood-vessel walls. The level of
arterial blood-pressure changes periodically during the heart activity: During the
»blood ejection« (Systole) the value is maximal (systolic blood-pressure value),
at the end of the heart’s »rest period« (Diastole) minimal (diastolic blood-pressure
value). The blood-pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order
to prevent particular diseases.
2.2 Which values are normal?
Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg
and/or the systolic blood-pressure is over 160 mmHg. In this case, please consult
your doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due
to the associated advancing damage to the blood vessels in your body.
Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and
160 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood-pressure values lie between 90 mmHg
and 100 mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor. Furthermore, regular self-
checks will be necessary.
With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under
100 mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg, likewise, please consult your
doctor. Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your
blood-pressure monitor is recommended. In this way you can detect possible
