What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early morning and
declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and nally drops to
a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive
measurements can uctuate.
Blood pressure readings taken from a healthy 31-year -old male, measured at 5-minute intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s oce only provides a momentary value. Repeated
measurements at home better reect one’s actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a dierent blood pressure when they measure at home, because they
tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s oce. Regular blood pressure measurements taken
at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values
under actual «everyday» conditions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood pressure values when
measured at resting pulse.
Blood pressure Normal Mild Severe
(mmHg) values hypertension hypertension
SYS = systole (upper value) up to 140 140-180 over 180
DIA = diastole (lower value) up to 90 90-110 over 110

the oscillometric method.
• This product is intended for household use only.
• This device is not intended as a substitute for regular check-ups by your doctor, please continue to
visit your doctor on a regular basis for a professional reading.
