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.

• 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

treatment 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 condi-

tions and when you feel relaxed!

Take at least two measure-

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

• 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 a much clearer picture than

just one single measurement.

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

measurements.

• If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure

very closely as it can change drastically during this time!

• If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see

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

be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

•

The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency

of heart pacemakers!
