How Do I Evaluate My Blood Pressure; Using The Device For The First Time; Inserting The Batteries - Microlife BP W1 Basic Manual

 Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in the
pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as these
situations are completely different.
 Several measurements provide much more reliable information
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
 Leave a small break of > 5 minutes between two measurements.
 If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see Section
«Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol»), measure-
ments taken with this device should be evaluated with your doctor.
 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency
of heart pacemakers!
 If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly as it can change drastically during this time.
 A number of factors can affect the accuracy of measure-
ments taken on the wrist. In some cases, the result may
differ from the measurement taken on the upper arm. We
therefore advise you to compare these values with those
produced by the upper arm measurement and discuss them
with your doctor.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure

Table for classifying home blood pressure values in adults in accor-
dance with the international Guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in
mmHg.
4
Range Systolic
1. blood pressure < 120
normal
120 - 129 74 - 79
2. blood pressure
normal
3. blood pressure 130 - 134 80 - 84
slightly high
4. blood pressure 135 - 159 85 - 99
too high
≥ 160
5. blood pressure
far too high
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».
