5.8. Hypertension risk indicator
The bars on the left-hand edge of the display show you the range within which the
indicated blood pressure value lies. Depending on the position of the triangle indicator,
the readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger
(orange, dark orange) range.
The classification is based on standards established by the National Institutes of
Health JNC7, 2003.
Refer to the chart in section 2.2 of this instruction manual for details of the classifications.
A triangle is displayed to the right of the traffic light bar according to your measurement.
• If your triangle is in the green zone, your measurement is "Normal," according to NIH
standards.
• If your triangle is in the yellow zone, your measurement is "Pre-Hypertension."
• If your triangle is in the orange zone, it is "Stage 1 Hypertension."
• If your triangle is in the dark orange zone, it is "Stage 2 Hypertension."
