1. Important Facts about Blood Pressure and Self-
Measurement
• Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing in the
arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the
systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are
always measured.

• The instrument also indicates the pulse rate (the number of
times the heart beats in a minute).
• Permanently high blood pressure values can damage
your health and must be treated by your doctor!
• Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if
you have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely
on single blood pressure readings.
• Enter your readings in the enclosed blood pressure diary. This
will give your doctor a quick overview.
• There are many causes of excessively high blood pressure va-
lues. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer treat-
ment where appropriate. Besides medication, relaxation techni-
ques, weight loss and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.
• Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
any drugs prescribed by your doctor!
• Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is
subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You should
therefore take your measurements in the same quiet condi-
tions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two measure-
ments per day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
• It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion to produce significantly different results.
• Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as
these situations are completely different.
• Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than
just one single measurement.
• Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
• If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
• If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
«Section 4.»), measurements taken with this instrument should
only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
