blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display and the scale on the device
show which category the recorded blood pressure values
fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different
categories (e.g. systole in the high normal category and
diastole in the normal category), the graphical classification
on the device always shows the higher category; for the
example given this would be high normal.

Resting indicator measurement (using HSD diagnostics)
The most frequent error made when measuring blood pres-
sure is taking the measurement when not at rest (haemody-
namic stability), which means that both the systolic and the
diastolic blood pressures are incorrect in this case. While
measuring the blood pressure, the device automatically de-
termines whether you are at rest or not. If there is no indica-
tion that the circulatory system is not sufficiently at rest, the
symbol (haemodynamic stability) appears in the display
and the measurement can be recorded as a reliable blood
pressure at rest value.
Haemodynamically stable
The systolic and diastolic pressure measurements have
been recorded when the circulatory system is sufficiently at
rest and are a very reliable indicator of resting blood pres-
sure.

However, if there is an indication that the circulatory system
2
is not sufficiently at rest (haemodynamic instability), the
symbol appears in the display. In this case, the measure-
ment should be repeated after a period of physical and
mental rest. The blood pressure measurement must be
taken when the patient is physically and mentally rested, as
1
it will be the basis for diagnosing the blood pressure level
2
and therefore regulating the patient's medical treatment.
