your doctor. If you have previously been diagnosed with atrial
fibrillation, follow your doctor's instructions regarding what to
do in the event that AFIB is detected by the device.
Do not perform self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on
the measurements, but rather always follow the doctor's in-
structions.
Resting indicator (using HSD diagnostics)
One of the most common errors made when taking a blood
pressure measurement is not ensuring that the user's circu-
latory system is sufficiently at rest when taking the measure-
ment. In this case, the measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values do not represent 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
taken when the user's circulatory system was sufficiently at
rest.
The measured blood pressure value was ob-
tained when the user's circulatory system was
sufficiently at rest and reliably represents the
blood pressure at rest.
Indicates that the value was obtained when the
user's circulatory system was not sufficiently
at rest. The blood pressure values measured in
this case generally do not represent the blood
pressure at rest. The measurement should
therefore be repeated after a period of physical
and mental rest lasting at least 5 minutes.
No During the measurement it was not possible to
resting determine whether the user's circulatory system
indicator was sufficiently at rest. In this case too, the
symbol is measurement should be repeated after a period
displayed of rest lasting at least 5 minutes.
The user's circulatory system not being sufficiently at rest
can be the result of various factors, such as physical stress,

mental strain/distraction, speaking or experiencing cardiac
arrhythmia 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
rested when a blood pressure measurement is taken.
However, certain patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmia
or chronic mental conditions may remain haemodynamical-
ly unstable even in the long-term, something which persists
even after repeated periods of rest. The accuracy of the re-
sults for the blood pressure at rest is reduced in these users.
Like any medical measurement method, the precision of HSD
is limited and it can lead to incorrect results in some cases.
Nevertheless, the blood pressure measurements taken when
