• Blood pressure is always stated in the form of two values:
- The highest pressure is the systolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle contracts and blood is
pumped into the blood vessels.
- The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle has completely relaxed again
and the heart is filling with blood.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during re-
peat measurements, there may be considerable di erences
between the measured values. One-o or irregular measure-
ments therefore do not provide reliable information about the
actual blood pressure. Reliable assessment is only possible
when you perform the measurement regularly under compa-
rable conditions.
Cardiac arrhythmia
The device can identify heart rhythm abnormalities during the
blood pressure measurement. If

your pulse.

When assessing your blood pressure, only use the results that
have been recorded without any irregularities in your pulse.

blood pressure values fall into. If the measured values are in two
di erent categories (e.g. systolic pressure in the "high normal"
range and diastolic pressure in the "normal" range), the risk in-
dicator always indicates the higher range – "high normal" in the
example described.
