ABOUT AVERAGE READING
ABOUT PRESSURE RATING INDICATOR™
The Pressure Rating Indicator™ is a feature which pro-
vides a snapshot of your blood pressure classification
based on your measurements. This will let you quickly
know what your blood pressure readings mean. Each
segment of the bar indicator corresponds to the Seventh
Report of the Joint National Committee (JNC7) on
Prevention, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood
Pressure from the National Heart, Lung and Blood
Institute - May 2003. For a more detailed look at this
blood pressure classification, please refer to “Assessing
High Blood Pressure” on page E-13.
:The indicator displays a segment, based on the current measurement,
corresponding to the JNC7 Classification.
NOTE: Due to other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) in
addition to your blood pressure measurement, the Pressure Rating Indicator
is approximate. Please consult with your physician for interpretation and
diagnosis of your blood pressure measurements.
NOTE: Residents outside of the United States (e.g.. Canada and Mexico)
should refer to the WHO Classification Table on page E-13 for assessment
of their blood pressure measurement.
The UA-705 provides an average blood pressure reading based
on the total measurements stored in memory. When taking a
measurement, the average blood pressure reading will appear
and the number of measurements stored in memory will flash
several times before the cuff begins to inflate. The average
blood pressure reading will also appear briefly when you recall
the measurements stored in memory.
