self-diagnosis and treatment based on the test results
may be dangerous. It is vital to follow your doctor‘s
instructions.
WHO classification:
According to WHO Guidelines/Definitions and the la-
test findings, the test results can be classified and
evaluated according to the following chart:
Range of blood pressure values Systolic
(in mmHg)
Diastolic
(in mmHg)
Measure
Grade 3: Severe hypertension >=180 >=110 Seek medical advice
Grade 2: Moderate hypertension 160 -179 100 -109 Seek medical advice
Grade 1: Mild hypertension 140 -159 90 - 99 Have it checked regularly by doctor
High-normal 130 -139 85 - 89 Have it checked regularly by doctor
Normal 120 -129 80 - 84 Check it yourself
Optimal <120 <80 Check it yourself
Source: WHO, 1999
The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit
indicate the range of the blood pressure which has
been recorded. An accoustic evaluation of your mea-
surement also follows.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in
two different WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-
normal range and diastolic pressure in the normal
range) the graphic WHO classification on the unit in-
dicates the higher range (high-normal in the example
described).
6. Saving, retrieving and deleting results
• The results of each successful measurement are
stored together with date and time. With more than
60 items of measured data, the earliest items of data
measured are lost.
• In order to retrieve measurement results again, press
the memory button ‚M‘. The instrument first displays
the number of memory spaces occupied and then au-
tomatically switches to the last saved test result.
If you continue pressing the memory button ‚M‘,
the last results in each case are measured are
