RISK CATEGORY INDEX

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index
that automatically compares each reading to defined levels
established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health's (NIH)
National Heart Lung and Blood Institute as described
earlier in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your
reading falls into one of the stages that could potentially
indicate increased risk. No cue is given if the reading
falls in the normal range as defined by NIH. Please note
that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to
assist you in using this table. The table and cues are only
provided for convenience to help you understand your
non-invasive blood pressure reading as it relates to the
NIH information. They are not a substitute for a medical
examination by your physician. It is important for you to
consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will
tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the
point at which you may actually be considered to be at
risk.
