blood pressure. It occurs when the heart muscle draws
together and presses the blood into the vessels.
- The lowest number is the diastolic blood pressure,
which then occurs when the heart muscle has fully
stretched out again and the heart fills with blood.
Blood pressure fluctuations are normal. Even on a re-
peat measurement, observable differences between the
measured values can arise. One-time or irregular meas-
urements therefore do not provide a reliable indication
of the actual blood pressure. A reliable assessment is
only possible if you regularly measure your blood pres-
sure under comparable conditions.

the cuff
has been correctly positioned, the symbol

will appear in the display
until the measurement has successfully been taken and will
then be shown together with the recorded values.
