The device has a cuff position control. Using this function, the device
automatically checks the correct position of the cuff on your upper arm
whilst it is taking a measurement. If the cuff
tioned, the symbol
will stay there until the measurement has successfully been taken and
will then be shown together with the recorded values.

Evaluating measurements
General information about blood pressure
Blood pressure is the force with which the bloodstream presses
against the arterial walls. Arterial blood pressure changes continu-
ously over the course of a cardiac cycle.
The blood pressure figure is always given in the form of two values.
- The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pres-
sure. It occurs when the heart muscle draws together and presses
the blood into the vessels.
- The lowest number is the diastolic blood pressure, which then
occurs when the heart muscle has fully stretched out again and
the heart fills with blood.
Blood pressure fluctuations are normal. Even on a repeat measure-
ment, observable differences between the measured values can
arise. One-time or irregular measurements therefore do not pro-
vide a reliable indication of the actual blood pressure. A reliable
assessment is only possible if you regularly measure your blood
pressure under comparable conditions.
