• Following the display check, during which all numbers light
up, the cuff inflates automatically. Whilst the cuff is pumping
up, the device already calculates measurements for estimat-
ing the necessary pump pressure. If this pressure is insuffi-
cient, the device automatically pumps more pressure.
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and as soon
as a pulse is detected, the pulse symbol
Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing the
on/off button and the device switches to standby

Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia dis-
orders during measurement and if necessary indicates the
measurement with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-

contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based
on the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your
doctor's instructions.
Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accord-
ance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide-
line, 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 pres-
sure 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 catego-
ries (e.g. systole in the 'High normal' category and diastole in
the 'Normal' category), the graphical classification on the de-
vice always shows the higher category; for the example given
this would be 'High normal'.
