2.4. CHECK3 technology
• CHECK3 technology is a new type of concept for optimum reliability in self-
measurement of blood pressure.
• An advanced measurement accuracy is achieved by the automatic analysis
of three successive measurements.
• The new system provides reliable values for the doctor and can be used as
the basis for reliable diagnostics and medication therapy for high blood
pressure.
A) Why CHECK3 technology?
• Human blood pressure is not stable
• Scattering of devices
B) Key advantages
Reduction of:
• Device scattering
• Insufficient rest prior to measurement
• Movement artefacts
• Cuff positioning influences
C) Medical benefits
• Improved accuracy
• Reliable patient self-measurement data for the doctor
• Safe hypertension diagnostic
• Reliable therapy control
D) Measurement sequence
• First measurement
2.3. What can be done, if regular increased/low values are obtained?
a) Please consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood-pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are asso-
ciated long- and medium term with considerable risks to health. This con-
cerns the arterial blood vessels of your body, which are endangered due to
constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A defi-
cient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the
result. Furthermore, with long-term continuously increased blood-pressure
values, the heart will become structurally damaged.
c) There are many different causes of the appearance of high blood pressure.
We differentiate between the common primary (essential) hypertension, and
secondary hypertension. The latter group can be ascribed to specific orga-
nic malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possi-
ble origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures which you can take, not only for reducing a medically
established high blood pressure, but also for prevention. These measures are
part of your general way of life:
A) Eating habits
• Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. Reduce overweight!
• Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.
• Avoid fatty foods.
B) Previous illnesses
• Follow consistently any medical instructions for treating previous illness
such as:
- Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus)
- Fat metabolism disorder
- Gout
C) Habits
• Give up smoking completely.
• Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol.
• Restrict your caffeine consumption (Coffee).
