About Pressure Rating Indicator™

The Pressure Rating Indicator™ is a feature which provides 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-16.
