• appears if the measurement could
not be performed properly. Observe the
chapter on error messages/troubleshooting
in these instructions for use and repeat the
measurement.
• Now select the desired user memory by pressing the
M1 or M2 memory buttons. If you do not select a user
memory, the measurement is stored in the most re-
cently used user memory. The relevant symbol or
appears on the display.
• Using the Start/stop button , switch off the blood
pressure monitor. The measurement is then stored in
the selected user memory.
If you forget to turn off the device, it will switch off
automatically after approx. 3 minutes. In this case too,
the value is stored in the selected or most recently used
user memory.
• Wait at least 5 minutes before taking an-
other measurement!
6. Evaluating results
Cardiac arrhythmia:
This instrument can identify possible cardiac arrhythmia disor-
ders during measurement and if necessary indicates the meas-
urement with the flashing icon .
This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a condi-
tion where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of defects
in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The symp-
toms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or excessively fast
heart rate) may be caused, among other things, by heart dis-
ease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use of stimulants,
stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be ascertained
through examination by your doctor.
Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for
5 minutes between measurements and not talk or move dur-
ing the measurement. If the icon appears often, please
contact your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based
on the test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your
doctor‘s instructions.
WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World Health
Organization and the latest findings, the measurements can be
classified and assessed according to the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide-
line, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people
and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your
doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pres-
sure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is
classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the unit show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If
the values of systole and diastole fall into two different WHO
categories (e.g. systole in the ‘High normal’ category and dias-
tole in the ‘Normal’ category), the graphical WHO classification
on the unit always shows the higher category; for the example
given this would be ‘High normal’.
