  • Page 9: What Is Blood Pressure

    What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is a measurement of the force that the heart has to exert to pump the blood through the circulatory system and vital organs in the body. The higher the pressure, the harder the heart has to work. Systolic and diastolic values With every heartbeat, blood pressure fl uctuates be- tween a maximum value (systolic), when the heart...
  • Page 10 Measuring range The blood pressure monitor shows you the blood pressure (SYS. = systolic and DIA. = diastolic value), pulse and the time and date on the display. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury). The classifi cation of blood pressure values is based on the defi nition and classifi cation by the WHO (World Health organisation) from 1999.

    How does the blood pressure monitor work? Your blood pressure monitor contains high quality components for measuring the pressure and to dis- play the values on the display. It also measures and displays your pulse frequency. The device measures blood pressure indirectly using a sleeve around the wrist.

  • Page 14: Notes On Measurement

    Notes on measurement If the values obtained give you cause to be concerned about your health, take medical advice. Do not change your treatment/dosage of medication as a result of the values unless you have discussed this with your doctor! By using your device, you can get a clear overview of your blood pressure by measuring it regularly and us- ing clear records.
  • Page 15 Note the following points so that the values give a re- alistic representation of your blood pressure: • Always measure your blood pressure at the same time of the day. • Measure your blood pressure when you are re- laxed. Try to rest for fifteen minutes before meas- uring your blood pressure.
  • Page 16 • Please ensure that you always measure your blood pressure under the same conditions! Also note the information about maintaining the correct pos- ture during measurement on page 21. Different measurement conditions can lead to different measurement factors and, therefore, to markedly different values.
