Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disorders during measurement
and if necessary indicates the measurement with the flashing icon.
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condition where the heart rhythm
is abnormal as a result of defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.
The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or excessively 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.
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).
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 contact your doc -
tor. 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 findings, the test results can be
classified and evaluated according to the following chart:
Range of blood pressure values Systolic
(mmHg)
Diastolic
(mmHg)
