2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT OF BLOOD-PRESSURE AND ITS MEASUREMENT
2.1. Normal blood pressure fluctuation
All physical activity, excitement, stress, eating, drinking, smoking, body posture and many other activities or factors (including taking a
blood pressure measurement) will infl uence blood pressure value. Because of this, it is mostly unusual to obtain identical multiple blood
pressure readings.
Blood pressure fl uctuates continually day and night. The highest value usually appears in the daytime and lowest one usually at
midnight. Typically, the value begins to increase at around 3:00 AM, and reaches to highest level in the daytime while most people are
awake and active.
Considering the above information, it is recommended that you measure your blood pressure at approximately the same time each day.
Too frequent measurements may cause injury due to blood fl ow interference, please always relax a minimum moment of 1 to 1.5 minutes
between measurements to allow the blood circulation in your arm to recover. It is rare that you obtain identical blood pressure readings
each time.
The device contains sensitive electronic components (Microcomputer). Therefore, avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fi elds in the di-
rect vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave cookers). These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy.
2.2. Classification of blood pressure values
Blood pressure is too high if at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90mmHg and/or the systolic blood-pressure is over 160mmHg. In this
case, please consult your doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to the associated advancing dam-
age to the blood vessels in your body.
Should the systolic blood-pressure values lie between 140mmHg and 160mmHg and/or the diastolic blood-pressure values lie between
90mmHg and 100mmHg, likewise, please consult your doctor. Furthermore, regular self-checks will be necessary.
With blood-pressure values that are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60mmHg, likewise, please
consult your doctor.
Even with normal blood-pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood-pressure monitor is recommended. In this way you can
detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, please keep a record of the level of your blood pressure by carry-
ing out regular self-measurements at specifi c times of the day. Show these values to your doctor. Never use the results of your measure-
ments to alter independently the drug doses prescribed by your doctor.
