Repeat the measurement if the flashing icon
is displayed
after the measurement. Please note that you should rest for 5
minutes between measurements and not talk or move during
the measurement. If the icon
appears often, please contact
your doctor. Any self-diagnosis and treatment based on the
test results may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor’s
instructions.
WHO classification:
The World Health Organization (WHO) and National High Blood
Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee have de-
veloped a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of
low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard,
however, is a general guideline as individual’s blood pressure
varies among different people and different age groups ... etc.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly.
Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range
as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.
Table for classification of blood pressure values (unit of measurement mmHg) for adults:
Range Systolic Diastolic Action
Hypotonia (degraded blood pressure) lower than 105 lower than 60 Check with doctor
Normal range between 105 and 120 between 60 and 80 Self check
Pre-hypertensive blood pressure range*
between 120 and 140 between 80 and 90 Check with doctor
High blood pressure - degree
between 140 and 160 between 90 and 100 Consult your doctor
High blood pressure - degree
higher than 160 higher than 100
Consult your doctor
(*) Blood pressure range that might transfer to high blood pressure Adapted from JNC 2003
The WHO classification in the display shows the range of the
measured blood pressure.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two dif-
ferent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the grade
hypertension
range and diastolic pressure in the normal range), the WHO
classification on the unit always indicates the higher range
(grade
hypertension in the example described).
5.6 Resting indicator measurement (using HSD diagnostics)
The most frequent error made when measuring blood pressure
is taking the measurement when not at rest (haemodynamic
stability), which means that both the systolic and the diastolic
blood pressures are incorrect in this case. During blood pres-
sure measurement, the device automatically determines wheth-
er the circulatory system is sufficiently at rest or not.
If there is no indication that the circulatory system is not suf-
ficiently at rest,
(haemodynamic stability) is displayed and
