2. The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse measure-
ments are displayed.
The cuff position control symbol
out the entire measurement. If the cuff is too loose,
will be displayed. In such cases, the measurement is
cancelled after approx. 15 seconds and the device switches
itself off.
"

properly. In this case, please refer to the "Troubleshooting"
section.
If necessary, re-attach the cuff after 1 minute.
The device switches off automatically after approx. 1 minute.
6.4 Evaluating the results
General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream presses
against the arterial walls. Arterial blood pressure constantly
changes in the course of a cardiac cycle.
• 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 repeat
measurements, there may be considerable differences between
the measured values. One-off or irregular measurements there-
fore do not provide reliable information about the actual blood
pressure. Reliable assessment is only possible when you per-
form the measurement regularly under comparable conditions.
Cardiac arrhythmia
The device can identify heart rhythm abnormalities during the
blood pressure measurement. If
is displayed through-
urement, this indicates that an irregularity has been detected in
and
your pulse.
Repeat the measurement if
When assessing your blood pressure, only use the results that
have been recorded without any irregularities in your pulse.
Consult your doctor if
