Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device can identify potential disruptions of the heart
rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this after
the measurement with the symbol
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness
in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the
bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The symp-
toms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or
too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age,
physical make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep.
Arrhythmia can only be determined through an examination
by your doctor.
If the symbol is shown on the display after the measure-
ment has been taken, repeat the measurement. Please ensure
that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or
move during the measurement. If the symbol
quently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treat-
ment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always
follow your GP's instructions.
Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in ac-
cordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different
people and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice.
Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal

blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the unit
show which category the recorded blood pressure values fall
into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different
categories (e.g. systole in the ‚High normal' category and
diastole in the ‚Normal' category), the graphical classifica-
tion on the device always shows the higher category; for the
example given this would be ‚High normal'.
