6. Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmias:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart
rhythm when measuring and if necessary, indicates this
after the measurement 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 heart-
beat. 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 meas-
urement 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
appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-
diagnosis and treatment based on the measurements
can be dangerous. Always follow your GP's instructions.
Risk indicator:
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 dif-
ferent 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 categories (e.g. systole in the ‚High
normal' category and diastole in the ‚Normal' category),
the graphical classification on the device always shows
the higher category; for the example given this would
be ‚High normal'.
