RISK CATEGORY INDICATOR
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Indicator
that automatically compares each reading to defined levels
established by the American Heart Association
®
(AHA 2017) 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. 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 noninvasive blood pressure reading as it
relates to the AHA 2017 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.
