Note: One or two readings will not provide a true indication of your normal blood pressure. It is very important to take regular, daily
measurements to obtain accurate data. Communicating your findings to your doctor can be a valuable aid in diagnosing and
preventing potential health problem.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) developed the Blood Pressure Classification indicated in the following chart (1999 – revised
in 2003). This classification, however, is only a general guideline, because blood pressure varies from person to person according
to age, weight, and health status.
It is advisable to consult your doctor to determine your normal blood pressure.
BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION CHART (IN MM HG)
Category Systolic (upper)
Optimal less than120
Normal between 120 and 129
Normal high between 130 and 139
Stage 1 - Mild
between 140 and 159
Hypertension
Stage 2 - Moderate
between 160 and 179
Hypertension
Stage 3 - Severe
greater than or equal to 180
Hypertension
Isolated systolic
greater than or equal to 140
hypertension
Note: There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension (low blood pressure), but systolic pressure below 99 mm Hg
is usually regarded as hypotension.

3. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

- - Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure readings should be interpreted by a physician or trained
healthcare professional, who is familiar with your medical history. Measurements do not replace your doctor's treatment or
regular check-ups.
- If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood
pressure.
- Do not use this device on children and the elderly without medical advice.
- This device should not encourage self-medication or adjusting your treatment.
- Do not use the device in a moving vehicle. This can result in erroneous measurements.
- Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using
the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or
automated sphygmomanometers.
- Do not use any other cuff than the one provided.
- If there is too much pressure from the cuff, or you feel uncomfortable, please press the START button immediately to quickly
deflate the cuff.
