Self-diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements can
be dangerous. Always follow your GP's instructions.
WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World
Heath Organization and the latest findings, the measurements
can be classified and assessed according to 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 different
WHO categories (e.g. systole in the 'High normal' category and
diastole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical WHO classifi-
cation on the device always shows the higher category; for the
example given this would be 'High normal'.

Resting indicator measurement (using HSD diagnostics)
The most frequent error made when measuring blood pressure
is taking the measurement when not at rest (haemodynamic
stability), which means that both the systolic and the diastolic
blood pressures are incorrect in this case. While measuring the
blood pressure, the device automatically determines whether
you are at rest or not. If there is no indication that the circula-
tory system is not sufficiently at rest, the
dynamic stability) lights up green and the measurement can be
recorded as a reliable blood pressure at rest value.
GREEN: haemodynamically stable
Measurement of the systolic and diastolic pressure is increa-
sed when the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest and is a
very reliable indicator of resting blood pressure.
