Resting indicator
One of the most common errors made when taking a blood
pressure measurement is not ensuring that the user's circulato-
ry system is sufficiently at rest when taking the measurement.
In this case, the measured systolic and diastolic blood pres-
sure values do not correspond to the blood pressure at rest.
However, it is this blood pressure at rest that should be used to
assess the measured values.
This blood pressure monitor uses integrated haemodynamic
stability diagnostics (HSD) to measure the user's haemody-
namic stability when taking the blood pressure measurement.
This enables it to indicate whether the blood pressure was ta-
ken when the user's circulatory system was sufficiently at rest.
Resting indicator The measured blood pressure value
lights up GREEN was obtained when the user's circu-
latory system was sufficiently at rest
and reliably corresponds to the blood
pressure at rest.

Resting indicator Indicates that the value was obtained
lights up RED when the user's circulatory system
was not sufficiently at rest. The blood
pressure values measured in this case
generally do not correspond to the
blood pressure at rest. The measure-
ment should therefore be repeated after
a period of physical and mental rest
lasting at least 5 mins.
Resting indicator During the measurement it was not pos-
does not light up sible to determine whether the user's
circulatory system was sufficiently at
rest. In this case too, the measurement
should be repeated after a period of rest
lasting at least 5 mins.
If the user's circulatory system was not sufficiently at rest, this
can be caused by various factors such as physical or mental
strain or distraction, speaking, or experiencing cardiac arrhyth-
mia during the measurement.
In an overwhelming number of cases, HSD will give a very
good guide as to whether the user's circulatory system is res-
ted when taking a blood pressure measurement.
However, certain patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmia
or chronic mental conditions may remain haemodynamically
unstable even in the long-term, something which persists even
after repeated periods of rest. The accuracy of the results for
the blood pressure at rest is reduced in these users.
