Clinical benefits

The user can record their blood pressure and pulse values quickly and easily using the device. The ECG
stick is used to calculate the heart rhythm. The device provides information about your average pulse
value as well as any divergence from a normal ECG.
The recorded values of blood pressure measurement are classified according to internationally applicable
guidelines and evaluated graphically. Furthermore, the device can detect any irregular heart beats that
occur during measurement and inform the user via a symbol in the display. The device saves the record-
ed measurements and can also output average values of previous measurements. This blood pressure
monitor also has a haemodynamic stability display, which is referred to as a resting indicator throughout
these instructions for use. This shows whether you, and consequently your circulatory system, are suf-
ficiently at rest when the blood pressure measurement is being taken, and whether the measured blood
pressure thus corresponds to your blood pressure when at rest. Read more about this under "Resting
indicator" in the section on using the device.The recorded data can provide healthcare service providers
with support during the diagnosis and treatment of blood pressure problems, and therefore plays a part
in the long-term monitoring of the users health.
Indication
In the event of hypertension or hypotension, the user can independently monitor their blood pressure
and pulse values as well as arrhythmia at home. However, the user does not need to be suffering from
hypertension or arrhythmia in order to use the device.
