Thuasne BP 3MS1-4N Manual De Instrucciones página 14

 It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion to produce significantly different results.
 Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as
these situations are completely different.
 Several measurements provide much more reliable information
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
 Leave a small break of > 5 minutes between two measurements.
 If you suffer from a cardiac arrhythmia consult with your doctor
before using the device. See also chapter «Appearance of the
irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol» of this user manual.
 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
 If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly as it can change drastically during this time.
 This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a readout value between 150/85 or 120/98 mmHg indi-
cates «blood pressure too high».
2. Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol
This symbol BT indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected.
In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your
actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the
measurement.
Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of
the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and
indicates when the heart rate is irregular.
