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 GP's instructions.
Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in ac-
cordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guideli-
ne, 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 unit show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If
the values of systole and diastole fall into two different catego-
ries (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'.
