RISK CATEGORY INDICATOR
The U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services
and the
National
Institutes of Health
have developed a
blood pressure standard, classifying blood
pressure ranges into 4 stages. This unit is
equipped with an innovative blood pres-
sure classification indicator, which visually
indicates the assumed risk level (normal,
prehypertension, stage 1 hypertension, or
stage 2 hypertension) of each reading.
Symbols are described below and classifi-
cations follow the guidelines as described
earlier in this manual (page 7).
