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 instrument also 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 instrument should 
only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.



The pulse display is not suitable for checking the 
frequency of heart pacemakers!

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. 
Example: a readout value between 

150/85

 or 

120/98

 mmHg indi-

cates «blood pressure too high».

2. Using the Instrument for the First Time

Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The 
battery compartment 

5

 is at the back of the device. Insert the 

batteries (4 x size AA 1,5 V), thereby observing the indicated polarity.
