Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmias:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm
when measuring and if necessary, indicates this after the meas-
urement with the symbol
This can be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness
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, it should be repeated. Please ensure that
you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or move
during the measurement. If the symbol

. Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in
accordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, 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 differ-
ent categories (e.g. systole in the ‚High normal' category and
diastole in the ‚Normal' category), the graphical classifica-
tion on the device always shows the higher category; for the
example given this would be ‚High normal'.
