evaluating results
cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia dis-
orders during measurement and if necessary indicates the
measurement with the flashing icon .
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a con-
dition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of de-
fects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.
The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or ex-
cessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things,
by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use
of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be
ascertained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for 5
minutes between measurements and not talk or move during
the measurement. If the icon appears often, please con-
tact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based on
the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your
doctor‘s instructions.
WhO classification:
According to WHO Guidelines/Definitions and the latest find-
ings, the test results can be classified and evaluated accord-
ing to the following chart:
The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two
different WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range
and diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic WHO
classification on the unit indicates the higher range (high-
normal in the example described).
Range of blood pressure values Systolic
(in mmHg)
Diastolic
