toms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or excessively fast
heart rate) may be caused, among other things, by heart dis-
ease, age, physical predisposition, excessive 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
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for
5 minutes between measurements and not talk or move dur-
ing the measurement. If the icon
contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis 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 accor-
dance 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 different cate-
gories (e.g. systole in the ‚High normal' category and diastole
in the ‚Normal' category), the graphical classification on the de-
vice 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 circulatory system is not suf-
ficiently at rest, the symbol
up green and the measurement can be recorded as a reliable
resting blood pressure value.
