It is vital to follow your doctor's instructions.

The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded. If
the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two differ-
ent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and
diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic WHO clas-
sification on the unit indicates the higher range (high-normal
in the example described).

5.4 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. During blood pres-
sure measurement, the device automatically determines
whether the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest or not.
If there is no indication that the circulatory system is not
sufficiently at rest,
and the measurement can be recorded as a reliable resting
blood pressure value.
