If the following measurement shows a lack of stability again,
repeat the measurement after another period of rest. In case of
further unstable measurements, identify these measurements
as they were taken when the circulatory system had not be suf-
ficiently rested.
In this case, inner unrest of the nervous system could be the
cause, which cannot be cured by brief periods of rest. Devel-
oping cardiac arrhythmia can also prevent stable blood pres-
sure measurements.
A lack of resting blood pressure can have various causes, such
as physical or mental strain or distraction and speaking or expe-
riencing heart rhythmic disturbance during the measurement.
In an overwhelming number of cases, the HSD diagnosis will
give a very good guide as to whether the circulatory system is
rested when taking the measurement. Certain patients suffering
from cardiac arrhythmia or chronic mental conditions can remain
haemodynamically unstable in the long-term, something which
persists even after repeated periods of rest. The precision of the
results of the resting blood pressure is reduced in these users.
Like any medical measurement method, the precision of the HSD
diagnosis is limited and can lead to incorrect results in some
cases. The blood pressure measurements taken when the circu-
latory system was at rest represent particularly reliable results.
6. Calling up stored values
You can call up values from the 2 user memories and display the
averages.
• Press the M1 or M2 memory buttons. Firstly, the average of
all values stored in this user memory will be displayed. This
is denoted by the letter in the display.
• If you press the memory buttons again, further individual
measurements appear with WHO, cardiac arrythmia and
HSD. These individual values are numbered from 1 to 60. The
time and date are alternately displayed after 2.5 seconds.
• If there are 60 individual values in the memory at the same
time, the oldest value is deleted in order to make room for
the new value.
• Use the start/stop button
turn off automatically after approx. 30 seconds.
Tip: You can also use the 2 user memories to separately store
measurements – e.g. mornings and evenings.
Deleting saved values
You can delete saved values individually or else you can delete
all of them.
• To delete individual values, first select the stored value
you wish to delete and keep memory button M1 or M2
depressed. The display starts blinking. Keep holding the but-
ton depressed until the display has completely cleared.
• To delete an entire user memory, you have to select the
appropriate user memory. The average is displayed and indi-
cated with . Hold the memory button M1 or M2 depressed
until the display starts blinking and keep the button
depressed until the display completely clears.
7. Cleaning and storing the instrument
• Clean your device and cuff carefully only with a slightly mois-
tened cloth.
• The frequency of cleaning depends on the contamination
level of the device. Clean the blood pressure device and cuff
as soon as any dirt appears on the device.
