Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia dis­
orders during measurement and if necessary indicates the
measurement with the flashing icon
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a
condition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of
defects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat.
The symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or
excessively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other
things, by heart disease, age, physical predisposition, exces­
sive use of stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia
can only be ascertained through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon
played after the measurement. Please note that you should
rest for 5 minutes between measurements and not talk or
move during the measurement. If the icon
often, please contact your doctor. Any self­diagnosis and
treatment based on the test results may be dangerous. It is
vital to follow your doctor's instructions.
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 gui­
deline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different
people and different age groups etc.
