Risk indicator
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in ac-
cordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, 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 pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display and the scale on the device
show which category the recorded blood pressure values
fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different
categories (e.g. systole in the high normal category and
diastole in the normal category), the graphical classification
on the device always shows the higher category; for the
example given this would be high normal.

Resting indicator measurement (using HSD diagnostics)
The most frequent error made when measuring blood pres-
sure is taking the measurement when not at rest (haemody-
namic stability), which means that both the systolic and the
diastolic blood pressures are incorrect in this case. While
measuring the blood pressure, the device automatically de-
termines whether you are at rest or not. If there is no indica-
tion that the circulatory system is not sufficiently at rest, the
