have been recorded without any irregularities in your pulse.

pressure values fall into. If the measured values are in two differ-
ent categories (e.g. systolic pressure in the "high normal" range
and diastolic pressure in the "normal" range), the risk indicator
always indicates the higher range – "high normal" in the example

Note that these default values are for general guidance only,
as individual blood pressures may vary.
Please note that self-measurement at home usually results in val-
ues lower than those recorded at a doctor's surgery. Consult your
doctor at regular intervals. Only they are able to give you personal
target values for controlled blood pressure, particularly if you are
receiving medical therapy.
Low blood pressure
WARNING
Low blood pressure (hypotension) can be a health hazard and
cause dizziness or fainting. Blood pressure is considered low if
systolic and diastolic pressure are below 90/60 mmHg (source:
National Health Service, 2023).
Seek medical attention if you suddenly suffer from low blood
pressure.
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common forms of cardiac ar-
rhythmia and is characterised by an irregular heartbeat associat-
ed with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart
complications.
While the final diagnosis of atrial fibrillation can only be made by
a medical examination, the Beurer AFIB technology of this device
enables it to be detected with a high level of accuracy. During the
blood pressure measurement, possible atrial fibrillation is detect-
ed and displayed after the measurement with the
combination with the
fibrillation, are present, the displayed blood pressure value may
be incorrect. If the
