5.6. Traffic Light 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 height of the bar, the
readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger
(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.
The traffic light bar raises according to your measurement.
• If your measurement has 1-2 bars, your measurement is in the green zone, or
“Normal” according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has three bars, it is in the yellow zone, or “Pre-Hypertension”
according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has four bars, it is in the light orange “Stage 1 Hypertension”
zone.
• If your measurement has 5-6 bars, it is in the dark orange “Stage 2 Hypertension”
zone.
