Getting Started

The consequences of having too high blood pressure
are a major cause of death these days. Many people
are unaware that their blood pressure is too high.

This blood pressure monitor helps you to take regular,
comparative measurements.

Proper use

The device is used to measure blood pressure at the
wrist and can save 60 measurement values in each of
two memory spaces. It is suitable for healthy people
and can be used to make comparative measurements –
especially during sporting activities.

only. The device is only intended for private use and
not for industrial or commercial use. Using the device
under extreme environmental conditions may result in
damage to the device.

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure is a measurement of the force that
the heart has to exert to pump the blood through the
circulatory system and vital organs in the body. The
higher the pressure, the harder the heart has to work.

Systolic and diastolic values

With every heartbeat, blood pressure fl uctuates
between a maximum value (systolic), when the
heart pumps blood into the circulatory system and a
minimum value when the heart fi lls up with blood again
(diastolic). The average of these values is the average
blood pressure.

Blood pressure can be higher than usual if parts of the
circulatory system are restricted, diseased or abnormal
in other ways. High blood pressure can cause damage
to vital organs including the brain and heart.

Measuring range

The blood pressure monitor shows you the blood
pressure (SYS. = systolic and DIA. = diastolic value),
pulse and the time and date on the display. Blood
pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury).

The classifi cation of blood pressure values is based
on the defi nition and classifi cation by the WHO (World
Health organisation) from 1999. The WHO defi nes high
blood pressure as values above 140 mmHg (systolic
value) and 90 mmHg (diastolic value).

Your blood pressure monitor is fi tted with a colour
indicator that makes it easier to assess the measured
values.

The following summary can help you to assess the
values you measure:
