HYPERTENSION INDICATOR
This monitor comes equipped with a
Hypertension Indicator 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.
