Measurement
If you forget to turn off the blood pressure monitor, it will
switch off automatically after approximately 3 minutes. In
this case too, the value is stored in the selected or most
recently used user memory and the data is transferred
automatically after 3 minutes if Bluetooth
®
data transfer
has been activated.
•
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking an-
other measurement.
6. 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 a condition
in which the heart rhythm is abnormal because of flaws in the
bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat. The symptoms
(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 appears
frequently, please consult your doctor.
Self-diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can
be dangerous. Always follow your GP’s instructions.
Risk indicator:
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
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 cate-
gories (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’.
