3.6 BP Assessment Indicator
The bars on the left hand side of the display show you the range within which the indicated blood
pressure values lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either within the normal
(green), borderline (yellow/orange) or danger (red) range.
The classification is based on standards adopted from ESH (European Society of Hypertension), AHA
(American Heart Association) International Guidelines.
Refer to the chart below for details of the classification.

An arrow points to the indicator bar according to your measurement.
• If the arrow points to the first or second green bar, your
measurement is in the green zone, or “Normal” according to the
ESH/AHA classification.
• If the arrow points to the third bar, it is still in the green zone,
but is considered high normal according to the ESH/AHA
classification.
• If the arrow points to the fourth bar, it is in the yellow “Stage 1
Hypertension” zone.
• If the arrow points to the fifth bar, it is in the orange “Stage 2
Hypertension” zone.
• If the arrow points to the sixth bar, it is in the red “Stage 3
Hypertension” zone.
3.7 Viewing Previously Recorded Values
The blood pressure monitor automatically stores your measurements. It can store up to 200
measurements. When more than 200 measurements are made, the oldest readings are deleted to make
space for the new ones.
To view the previously stored values, press the button. The last measurement is displayed. The date
and time of the measurement are also displayed after the reading. Press the button repeatedly to view
all the measurements that are recorded on the device.
Note: Blood pressure measurements are not stored when an error is encountered during
measurement.
3.8 Clearing All Values
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored values, hold down the
button (the instrument must have been switched off before hand) until the “ ” appears
and then release the button. If you do not want to clear the values, press the button. To
permanently clear the memory, press the button while “ ” is flashing. Individual values
cannot be cleared.
3.9 Discontinuing a Measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g. the patient feels
unwell), the button can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff pressure
automatically.
