Requirement: cu attached, user selected.
Measurement
1.
Press . All display elements are briefly displayed. The
cu inflates itself automatically. The measurement process
starts. is displayed as soon as a pulse is detected.
To cancel the measurement, press

2. The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse meas-
urements are displayed.
is displayed if the measurement could not be per-
formed properly. In this case, please refer to the “Trou-
bleshooting” section.
If necessary, re-attach the cu after 1 minute.

6.4 Evaluating the results
General information about blood pressure
• Blood pressure is always stated in the form of two val-
ues:
• The highest pressure is the systolic blood pressure.
This occurs when the heart muscle contracts and blood
is pumped into the blood vessels.
• The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure.
This occurs when the heart muscle has completely re-
laxed again and the heart is filling with blood.
• Fluctuations in blood pressure are normal. Even during
repeat measurements, there may be considerable dier-
ences between the measured values. One-o or irregular
measurements therefore do not provide reliable informa-
tion about the actual blood pressure. Reliable assess-
ment is only possible when you perform the measure-
ment regularly under comparable conditions.
Cardiac arrhythmia
The device can identify heart rhythm abnormalities during
the blood pressure measurement. If is displayed after
the measurement, this indicates that an irregularity has been
detected in your pulse.
Repeat the measurement if is displayed.
