6. Evaluating results

Cardiac arrhythmia:
This unit can identify potential disruption of the heart rhythm when meas-
uring and if necessary, indicates this after the measurement with the
symbol . If the voice function is activated, the device will announce:
"A possible cardiac arrhythmia was found." This can be an indicator for
arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an illness in which the heart rhythm is abnormal
because of flaws in the bioelectrical system that regulates the heartbeat.
Voice output when voice function
is active
The symptoms (skipped or premature heart beats, pulse being slow or
too fast) can be caused by factors such as heart disease, age, physical
make-up, excess stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only
be determined through an examination by your doctor. If the symbol
is shown on the display after the measurement has been taken, it
should be repeated. Please ensure that you rest for 5 minutes beforehand
and do not speak or move during the measurement. If the symbol
appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis and treat-
ment based on the measurements can be dangerous. Always follow your
GP's instructions.
Risk indicator:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance with
the following table. However, these standard values serve only as a ge-
neral 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 bar chart on the display and the scale on the unit show which cate-
gory the recorded blood pressure values fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g.
systole in the High normal category and diastole in the Normal category),
the graphical classification on the device always shows the higher cate-
gory; for the example given this would be High normal.
