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. Therefore we

recommend using the MAM technology.

• 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.

Therefore we recommend using the MAM technology.

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

measurements.

• If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements taken

with this device should be evaluated with your doctor.

• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the

frequency of heart pacemakers!
