NOTE:
This standard, however, is a general guideline as an in-
dividual's blood pressure varies among different people,
age groups, etc. Please consult your physician for proper
diagnosis.
The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded.
NOTE:
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two
different JNC ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range
and diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic JNC
classification on the unit indicates the higher range (high-
normal in the example described).
