Evaluating The Results - Beurer BM 28 Instructions For Use Manual

• _ appears if the measurement has not been performed prop-
erly. Observe the chapter on error messages/trouble shooting
in these instructions for use and repeat the measurement.
• Now select the desired user memory by pressing the memory
button M. If you do not select a user memory, the measure-
ment is stored in the most recently used user memory. The
relevant , , or symbol appears on the display.
• To switch off, press the START/STOP button
to turn off the device, it will switch itself off automatically after
around 30 seconds.
Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another measurement.

6.4 Evaluating the results

General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is always stated in the form of two values:
- The highest pressure is the systolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle contracts and blood is
pumped into the blood vessels.
- The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure. This
occurs when the heart muscle has completely relaxed again
and the heart is filling with blood.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during re-
peat measurements, there may be considerable differences
between the measured values. One-off or irregular measure-
ments therefore do not provide reliable information about the
actual blood pressure. Reliable assessment is only possible
when you perform the measurement regularly under compa-
rable conditions.
