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 device 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.
 There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, weight loss
and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.
 Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting 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 conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least
two readings every time (in the morning and in the evening) and
average the measurements.
 It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion to produce significantly different results. Therefore we
recommend using the MAM technology.
