Risk indicator:
The measurements can be classified and evaluated in accordance with
the following table. However, these standard values serve only as a
general guideline, 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 pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous. The bar chart on the display and the
scale on the device show which category the recorded blood pressure
values fall into. If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different
categories (e.g. systole in the high normal category and diastole in the
normal category), the graphical classification on the device always shows
the higher category; for the example given this would be high normal.
