WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World
Health Organization and the latest findings, the measure-
ments can be classified and assessed according to the
following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different
people and different age groups etc.

It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice.
Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal
blood pressure as well as the value above which your blood
pressure is classified as dangerous.
The WHO classification in the display shows the range of
the measured blood pressure.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two
different WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the grade hyperten-
sion range and diastolic pressure in the normal range), the
WHO classification on the unit always indicates the higher
range (grade hypertension in the example described).
7. 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.
• Move the touch screen activation switch to the

position.
• Make a selection with the
MEM
button, and then confirm
the desired user memory with the
START/STOP
button.
If you press the
MEM
button again, the average value of
all the stored measured values in the user memory will be
displayed. If you press the
MEM
button again, the aver-
age value of the last 7 days for the morning measurement
will be displayed (Morning: 5 a.m. – 9 a.m., display . If
you press the
MEM
button again, the average value of the
last 7 days for the evening measurement will be displayed
