Omron Healthcare 7300W instruction manual AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

The American Heart Association recommends the following guideline for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:

AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP

Systolic Blood Pressure	135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure	85 mmHg

This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home blood pressure goal for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure1.

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

WARNING

Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.

Omron Healthcare recommends you contact your physician if the Heartbeat Symbol ( ) flashes on the display with your measurement values.
