• The measurement can be cancelled at any time by pressing
the button.
• If a higher inflation pressure is always required, you can by-
pass the additional pumping process by holding the M+ but-
ton shortly after the inflation process starts until the desired
cuff pressure is reached. This should be approx. 30 mmHg
above the systolic value.
• The symbol appears if the measurement could not be
Err
performed properly. Observe the chapter "What if there
are problems?" in these instructions for use and repeat the
measurement.
• The device switches off automatically after approx. 3 min-
utes.
Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another
measurement.
Evaluating the results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This device 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 heartbeat. The symp-
toms (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, repeat the measurement. Please ensure
that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand and do not speak or
move during the measurement. If the symbol
quently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treat-
ment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always
follow your doctor's instructions.
Risk indicator:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accord-
ance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide-
line, 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 pres-
sure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is
classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the device
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 di-
astole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical classification on
the device always shows the higher category; for the example
given this would be 'High normal'.
