ABOUT THE PRESSURE RATING INDICATOR™

The Pressure Rating Indicator™ is a feature which
provides a snapshot of your blood pressure classifi-
cation based on your measurements. This will let you
quickly know what your blood pressure readings
mean. Each segment of the bar indicator corresponds
to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee
(JNC7) on Prevention, Evaluation and Treatment of
High Blood Pressure from the National Heart, Lung
and Blood Institute - May 2003. For a more detailed
look at this blood pressure classification, please refer
Example
to "Assessing High Blood Pressure" on page E-21.
Hypertension
: The indicator displays a segment, based on the current measurement,
corresponding to the JNC7 Classification.
NOTE: Due to other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) in addition to your blood
pressure measurement, the Pressure Rating Indicator is approximate. Please consult with your
physician for interpretation and diagnosis of your blood pressure measurements.
NOTE: Residents outside of the United States (e.g.. Canada and Mexico) should refer to the WHO
Classification Table on page E-21 for assessment of their blood pressure
measurement.
