This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category
Indicator to visually indicate the assumed risk level of
each reading based upon these standards. See page
20 for more information on this feature.
It is important that you consult with your physician
regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal
blood pressure range as well as the point at which
you will be considered at risk.
For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,
keeping long-term records is recommended.
For adults 18 and older who are not on medicine for high blood
pressure, are not having a short-term serious illness, and do not
have other conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease.
To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall
into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.
There is an exception to the above definition of high blood
pressure for people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
A blood pressure of 130/80 mmHg or higher is considered high
blood pressure for those individuals.
