range and diastolic pressure in the "normal" range), the risk in-

Note that these default values are for general guidance
only, as individual blood pressures may vary.
Please note that self-measurement at home usually results in val-
ues lower than those recorded at a doctor's surgery. Consult your
doctor at regular intervals. Only they are able to give you personal
target values for controlled blood pressure, particularly if you are
receiving medical therapy.
Low blood pressure
WARNING
Low blood pressure (hypotension) can be a health hazard and
cause dizziness or fainting. Blood pressure is considered low if
systolic and diastolic pressure are below 90/60 mmHg (source:
National Health Service, 2023).
Seek medical attention if you suddenly su er from low blood
pressure.
Resting indicator (using HSD diagnostics)
One of the most common errors made when taking a blood pres-
sure measurement is not ensuring that the user's circulatory sys-
tem is su ciently at rest when taking the measurement. In this
case, the measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure values
do not represent the blood pressure at rest. However, it is this
blood pressure at rest that should be used to assess the meas-
ured values.
This blood pressure monitor uses integrated haemodynamic sta-
bility diagnostics (HSD) to measure the user's haemodynamic
stability when taking the blood pressure measurement. This ena-
bles it to indicate whether the blood pressure was taken when the
user's circulatory system was su ciently at rest.
