About Pressure Rating Indicator™
The Pressure Rating Indicator™ is a feature which provides a snapshot of your blood pressure clas- sification based on your measurements. This will let you quickly know what your blood pressure readings mean. Each segment of the bar indica-
tor 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
:The indicator displays a segment, based on the current measure- ment, 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 con- sult with your physician for interpretation and diagnosis of your blood pressure measure- ments.
NOTE: Residents outside of the United States (e.g.. Canada and Mexico) should refer to the WHO Classification Table on page
