How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display AO points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The
value is either within the optimum (white), elevated (hatched gray)
or high (black) range. The classification corresponds to the
following ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC,
JSH). Data in mmHg.
Range
Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure
135
too high
130 - 134 80 - 84
2. blood pressure
elevated
3. blood pressure
<130
normal
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia (PAD)
This symbol BT indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol
appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on
measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

4. Data Memory
This device automatically stores the last 60 measurement values.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» AP and «3A», which stands for the average
of 3 stored values in last 10 minutes.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit AR-A are
not considered in the average value.
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 60
memories is not exceeded. When the 60 memory is full,
the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
61st value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
