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.

 Enter your readings in the enclosed blood pressure diary. This

will give your doctor a quick overview.

 There are many causes of excessively high blood pressure

values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer treat-

ment where appropriate. Besides medication, relaxation techniques,

weight loss and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.

 Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any

drugs prescribed by your doctor!

 Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is

subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You should

therefore take your measurements in the same quiet conditions

and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two measurements per

day, one in the morning and one in the evening.

 It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession

to produce significantly different results.

 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 a much clearer picture than just

one single measurement.

 Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two

measurements.

«Section 4.»), measurements taken with this instrument should

only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency

of heart pacemakers!
