The risk indicator (the arrow in the display and the associ-
ated scale on the device) shows which category the recorded
blood pressure values fall into. If the measured values are in
two different classifications (e.g. systole in the high normal
category and diastole in the normal category), the risk indica-
tor then always shows you the higher category – "high nor-
mal" in the example described.
Please be aware that these standard values can only serve as
a general guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in
different people and different age groups, etc.
Furthermore, it must be noted that measurements taken your-
self while at home are generally lower than those that are
taken by the doctor. For this reason, it is important that you
regularly consult your doctor for advice. Only they are able

Irregular heartbeat

This device can identify any irregular heartbeat disturbances
as part of the analysis of your recorded pulse signal during
blood pressure measurement. In this case, after the measure-
ment, the device will indicate any irregularities in your pulse
by displaying the symbol
indicator for irregular heartbeat.
If the symbol appears on the display after the measure-
ment, the measurement must be repeated as the measure-
ment accuracy may be impaired. To assess your blood pres-
sure, only use the results that have been recorded without
corresponding irregularities in your pulse. If the symbol
appears frequently, please consult your doctor. Only they can
establish the existence of an arrhythmia during a checkup,
using their means of diagnosis.
Resting indicator
One of the most common errors made when taking a blood
pressure measurement is not ensuring that the user's circula-
tory system is sufficiently at rest when taking the measure-
ment. In this case, the measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values do not correspond to the blood pressure at
rest. However, it is this blood pressure at rest that should be
used to assess the measured values.
This blood pressure monitor uses integrated haemodynamic
stability diagnostics (HSD) to measure the user's haemody-
namic stability when taking the blood pressure measurement.
