RISK CATEGORY INDEX
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that
automatically compares each reading to defined levels established
by the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Heart
Lung and Blood Institute as described earlier in this manual, and
provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages
that could potentially indicate increased risk. No cue is given if
the reading falls in the normal range as defined by NIH. Please
note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist
you in using this table. The table and cues are only provided for
convenience to help you understand your non-invasive blood
pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information. They are
not a substitute for a medical examination by your physician. It is
important for you to consult with your physician regularly. Your
physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as
the point at which you may actually be considered to be at risk.
