ENGLISH If you replace the batteries while the appliance is switched on, all data stored in the memory will be erased. Cleaning and maintenance . This digital blood pressure monitor consists of very fragile precision parts. Be careful to avoid extreme temperatures, humidity, sunlight, shocks and dust. . Only clean the appliance with a soft, moist cloth and some washing-up liquid. . Carefully remove stains on the wristband with a moist cloth or some soap. . Do not bend the wristband too far backwards and do not roll the wristband up too tightly when you put it away. . Remove the batteries from the appliance if the blood pressure monitor is not going to be used for quite some time. Environment 1 Do not throw the batteries away with the normal household waste. Hand them in at an officially assigned collection point.

General information about blood pressure Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (mm mercury pressure).Blood pressure consists of two values. Systolic pressure (SYS) is created by the contractions of the heart muscle,which pumps the blood into the arteries.Diastolic pressure (DIA) is created when the heart relaxes and fills with blood again.The World Health Organisation (WHO) has laid down the following standard values with regard to the blood pressure of adults High blood pressure is a risk factor Systolic pressure (SYS) is too high when it exceeds 160 mmHg and diastolic pressure (DIA) is too high when it exceeds 95 mmHg. We speak of 'high blood pressure' when one of the two pressures exceeds the value mentioned above. Borderline values Systolic pressure: 140-160 mmHg Diastolic pressure: 90-95 mmHg Standard values Systolic pressure: max. 140 mmHg Diastolic pressure: max. 90 mmHg 12 ENGLISH Causes and consequences of high blood pressure Causes of high blood pressure are, among other things, obesity, a high cholesterol level, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, emotions, excessive salt consumption, a lack of exercise, hereditary inclination towards high blood pressure and certain diseases such as kidney and metabolic disorders. In the long term, high blood pressure can lead to reduced elasticity of the walls of arteries (arteriosclerosis),which is one of the major causes of cardiac infarcts, cerebral haemorrhages and cerebral infarcts as well as kidney disorders. Blood pressure fluctuation The blood pressure of healthy people, but especially that of people with high blood pressure, fluctuates greatly. Blood pressure fluctuates in the course of the day and in the course of the month. The season and the temperature also have an impact on blood pressure. Generally, a person's blood pressure is lower when the weather is hot and higher when it is cold. To give an example of the fluctuations in blood pressure that occur during the day, a graph showing the blood pressure of a 35-year-old man has been included. ENGLISH 13 160 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 PM Time AM The blood pressure fluctuations may amount to 30 to 50 mmHg as a result of changing circumstances during the day. Normally, blood pressure will go up when a person is working or exercising and will drop to its lowest level during the hours of sleep. So there is no need to be alarmed if one measurement shows your blood pressure to be higher than usual. Fluctations of 30 mmHg may even occur within minutes. Why measure blood pressure at home? An incidental blood pressure measurement carried out by a doctor is not a true representation of your actual blood pressure. It is possible that a person's blood pressure is higher when it is measured by a doctor than it is when it is measured at home, because people tend to be somewhat tense during a visit to the doctor.This i...
