Blood circulation
The blood circulation is responsible for supplying
the body with oxygen. Blood pressure is the
pressure exerted on the arteries.
The systolic blood pressure value (higher pressure
or top value) represents the blood pressure
produced by contraction of the heart muscle.
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower pressure
or lower value) represents the blood pressure
produced by relaxation of the heart muscle.
Classification of blood pressure
The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the
International Society of Hypertension (ISH)
developed the blood pressure classification. This
classification is based on the blood pressure values
measured while sitting on a chair in the outpatient
department of a hospital. According to the blood pressure classification by the WHO/ISH.

Health and blood pressure
The incidence of hypertension increases with age. In
addition, a lack of exercise, excess body fat and high
levels of cholesterol (LDL), which sticks to the inside
in blood vessels, reduces elasticity of these vessels.
Hypertension accelerates arterial sclerosis which can
lead to very serious conditions such as stroke and
myocardial infarction. For these reasons it is very
important to know whether the blood pressure is
within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates
from minute to minute, throughout the day. Therefore
it is essential to take regular measurements to help
you identify an average blood pressure.
Symptoms of high blood pressure
High blood pressure can go unnoticed for a long
time, since it does not cause noticeable symptoms.
The following are all possible causes of abnormally
high blood pressure:
•Overweight
•High cholesterol level
•Smoking
•Excessive alcohol consumption
•Stress and emotional upset
•Excessive consumption of salt
•Lack of physical exercise
•Genetic/hereditary predisposition
•Underlying illnesses, such as kidney disorders or
endocrine disturbance
Blood pressure measurement
Measuring your blood pressure daily enables you to
recognize high blood pressure at an early stage and
obtain medical treatment.
The oscillometric method of measurement
determines your blood pressure by measuring the
pressure fluctuations caused by the pulse waves.
Since your blood pressure fluctuates within a day (see
graphic next page), you should always measure it at the
same time each day to ensure that the measurements
are genuinely comparable. At the doctor’s surgery,
nervousness and tension may cause your blood
pressure to be higher than in familiar circumstances at
home. This is known as “White Coat Hypertension”.

Treatment of high blood pressure
If your blood pressure reaches upper values of 140
- 160 mmHg and lower values of 90 - 95 mmHg in
repeated measurements over several days, you
should consult your doctor for detailed medical
examination. You can assist the treatment
prescribed by your doctor in the following ways:
•Loose weight and lower your cholesterol level by
reducing the calories and fat in your diet. Cut down
on animal fats and eat more fruit and vegetables.
•Reduce the consumption of alcohol.
•Reduce the intake of salt: the German League
for Combating High Blood Pressure recommends
six grams of salt per day (i.e. one teaspoon) on
average.
•Stop smoking.
•Take regular exercise.
•Monitor your blood pressure.Example: fluctuation within a day (male, 35 years old)

Allgemein
• Das OMRON RX-3 ist nicht für die Frequenz-
messung von Herzschrittmachern geeignet.
• Bei Schwangerschaften, Herzrhythmusstörungen
und Arteriosklerose sollte der Arzt konsultiert
werden.
• Vor der Blutdruckmessung sollten Sie nicht
essen, keinen Alkohol trinken oder rauchen,
keinen Sport betreiben und kein Bad nehmen.
• Entspannen Sie sich vor der Messung.
• Ändern Sie die vom Arzt verschriebene
Medikamentendosis niemals selbst.
Gebrauchshinweise
• Messen Sie Ihren Blutdruck mindestens zweimal
pro Tag (vor dem Frühstück und nach der Arbeit).
• Messen Sie den Blutdruck nicht während der
Autofahrt.
• Messen Sie den Blutdruck stets am selben
Handgelenk.
• Legen Sie die Manschette vor Beginn der
Blutdruckmessung am Handgelenk an.
Achtung
• Die Betriebstemperatur liegt zwischen 10°C und
40°C.
• Die Betriebsumgebung sollte frei von Vibrationen,
Stößen, magnetischen Feldern, elektronischen
Geräuschen usw. sein.
• Führen Sie die Blutdruckmessung nicht bei
direkter Sonneneinstrahlung durch.
• Handys sollten in einem Abstand von mindestens
5 Metern aufbewahrt werden.
• Legen Sie die Manschette ausschließlich am
Handgelenk an.
• Lassen Sie das OMRON RX-3 nicht fallen.
So erhalten Sie verlässliche Blutdruck-Messwerte
