What you should know about blood pressure
Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, readings from successive measurements can fluctuate.
Blood pressure readings taken from a healthy 31-year-old male, measured at 5-minute intervals
Blood pressure measured in a doctor's office only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect one's actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a different blood pressure when they measure at home, because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor's office. Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual «everyday» conditions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set up the following standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse.
Blood pressure Normal Mild Severe (mmHg) values hypertension hypertension
SYS = systole (upper value) up to 140 140-180 over 180
DIA = diastole (lower value) up to 90 90-110 over 110
• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read the complete use instructions.
- This product is intended for household use only. Keep product and batteries away from children.
- People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.
- If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor first.
- The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.

Irregular heart beat detector (for BP5900 only)
The appearance of this symbol signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during the measurement. Talking, moving, shaking, or an irregular pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this icon. Usually this is not a cause for concern; however, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. The device does not replace a cardiac examination but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Low battery indicator
When the low battery indicator flashes on the display, it means the battery is low and the four batteries need to be replaced with alkaline LR6 (AA) batteries.
** After replacing batteries, the BPM will go into time-setting mode automatically and show the last measurement time on screen. Please set the current date/time before taking the next measurement to get correct average results.
