corded blood pressure values fall into. If the measured values
are in two different categories (e.g. systolic pressure in the
"high normal" range and diastolic pressure in the "normal"
range), the risk indicator always indicates the higher range –
"high normal" in the example described.
Note that these default values are for general guidance
only, as individual blood pressures may vary.
Please note that self-measurement at home usually results
in values lower than those recorded at a doctor's surgery.

Low blood pressure
 WARNING
Low blood pressure (hypotension) can be a health hazard
and cause dizziness or fainting. Blood pressure is considered
low if systolic and diastolic pressure are below 90/60 mmHG
(source: National Health Service, 2023).
Seek medical attention if you suddenly suffer from low blood
pressure.
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common forms of cardi-
ac arrhythmia and is characterised by an irregular heartbeat
associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and
other heart complications.
While the final diagnosis of atrial fibrillation can only be made
by a medical examination, the Beurer AFIB technology of this
device enables it to be detected with a high level of accuracy.
During the blood pressure measurement, possible atrial fibril-
lation is detected and displayed after the measurement with
the symbol in combination with the
rhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, are present, the displayed
blood pressure value may be incorrect. If the
displayed after a blood pressure measurement, repeat the
measurement. Rest for 5 minutes beforehand. Do not move
or speak during the measurement. If the
