After each measurement is completed, LCD display will show your position automatically
on the six segments of the bar indicator which corresponds to Risk Category Indicator.
*Note!
When a person's systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories, the higher
category should apply.
e.g. systolic rate 181 & diastolic rate 99
e.g. systolic rate 110 & diastolic rate 95
*Note!
The above table is not exact for classification of blood pressure and it's intended to be
used as a guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements.
