Studies show that the cardiovascular risk increases if the pulse pressure
value is permanently higher than 65 mmHg.
The device calculates the pulse pressure at the end
of the measurement. If the value is greater than
65 mmHg, this is indicated by the symbol on
the display.
If your pulse pressure is permanently above 65 mmHg, consult your doctor.
The heart works in two phases, the contraction phase (expulsion phase,
systole) and the relaxation phase (filling or resting phase, diastole). The
pressure difference between systole and diastole is called the pulse pres-
sure or pulse amplitude. The higher the pulse pressure, the stiffer your
vessels are thought to be.
If the device detects irregular pulses during the
measurement, the symbol is displayed once the
measurement is complete. This can be triggered
by cardiac arrhythmias, movement, talking or even
by deep breathing.
The symbol is stored with the respective measurement.
13. Cardiac arrhythmia/atrial fibrillation
Caution: Do not confuse the irregular pulse display with the flashing
pulse display that indicates the heart rate during every measurement
(see page 44).
The device is not an instrument for the diagnosis of atrial flutter or atrial
fibrillation. It shows only the possibility of the presence of such a condi-
tion. If this display should appear, it is essential to discuss this with your
doctor to receive an accurate diagnosis.
Measurement results accompanied by irregular pulses should be viewed
as critical and repeated under more favourable conditions.
Symbol is flashing: The device has detected strong pulse distur-
bances with a very fast pulse. This may be atrial flutter or atrial
fibrillation.
Symbol is not flashing: Cardiac arrhythmia or irregular pulse de-
tected.
Movements during the measurement may result
in incorrect measurement values. The motion con-
trol registers stronger movements and these are
indicated by the symbol in the display. Other
disruptive factors such as speaking, coughing or
cuff noises can cause the symbol to be displayed. If this symbol appears,
please repeat the measurement and avoid the disruptive factors.
14. Motion control
The symbol is stored with the respective measurement.
The device stores the measured values in two memories (one per user).
Each memory can store up to 120 readings and the average value (A). The
average value is calculated from the last three measurements taken.
15. Using the memory
The measured results are automatically saved in the memory. If more than
120 measured values are saved, the oldest measured value (no. 120) is
deleted so that the latest value (no. 1) can be recorded.
