1. Important Facts about Blood Pressure and Self-
Measurement
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing in the
arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the
systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are
always measured.
The device indicates the pulse rate (the number of times the
heart beats in a minute).
Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your
health and must be treated by your doctor!
Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if
you have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely
on single blood pressure readings.
There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, 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 readings every time (in the morning and in the evening) and
average the measurements.
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion 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 much more reliable information
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
«Section 4.»), measurements 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
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and pre-
eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in preg-
nancy, you should measure again after 4 hours. If the
reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynaecologist.
