Classification of measurements:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in
accordance with the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide
line, as the individual blood pressure varies in different people
and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your
doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood pres
sure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is
classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the unit show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different cate
gories (e.g. systole in the 'High normal' category and dias
tole in the 'Normal' category), the graphical classification on
the device always shows the higher category; for the example
given this would be 'High normal'.
