5.4 Evaluating measurement results

The measured values 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 classi-
fied as dangerous.
The bar chart on the display shows 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'.
