• Established hypertension (high blood pressure) is dened as having a systolic value
of at least 140mmHg and/or a diastolic value of at least 90mmHg.
• In general, low blood pressure (hypotension) is dened as a systolic value below
105mmHg and a diastolic value of 60mmHg. However, the threshold between
normal and low blood pressure (hypotension) is not as accurately specied as the
threshold for high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypotension may be associated
with symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, tendency to faint, visual disturbances or
high pulse rate. In order to ensure that hypotension or the corresponding symptoms
are not attendant symptoms of serious illness, a doctor should be consulted in case
of doubt.
Constantly elevated blood pressure signicantly increases the risk of
developing other disorders. Physical consequences of high blood
pressure, e.g. heart attack, stroke and organ damage, are the most
common causes of death worldwide. Daily blood pressure monitoring is
therefore an important measure that can help to protect you from these
risks. You should discuss this with your doctor, especially if you have
frequently elevated or borderline blood pressure values (see Chapter 3
‘Blood pressure information‘). The Veroval
®
medi. connect app lets you
share your readings easily with your doctor by email or as a print-out
(see chapter 7 ‘Transferring measured values via
Bluetooth®
to the
Veroval® medi.connect app‘). Your doctor will initiate appropriate
measures.
4. Preparing the measurement
Inserting/changing the batteries
Fig. 1
• Open the battery cover on the bottom of the device (see Fig. 1). Insert the batteries
(see Chapter 12 -’Technical data’). Ensure correct polarity (+ and –) when inserting
the batteries. Close the battery lid. or ash on the display. Set the
date and time as described below.
• If the ‘Change battery’ symbol and are permanently illuminated, blood
pressure can no longer be measured and you need to replace all the batteries.
Setting the date, time and
Bluetooth
®
It is very important that you set the date and time correctly. This is the only
way to save your measured values correctly, with the date and time, for subsequent
retrieval. This is also important for correctly using all the memory and analysis
functions.
We recommend activating automatic Bluetooth
®
data transfer if you want to use the
Veroval
®
medi.connect app.
• To switch to settings, reinsert the batteries or press the START/STOP button
for 5 seconds. Proceed as follows:
