If your systolic pressure falls in one category but your diastolic pressure in another, your level is classified in the higher of the two categories.
IMPORTANT:
•WHO does not define a low blood pressure area. For reference, systolic
pressure readings of less than 90 mmH are considered to indicate low blood pressure regardless of the diastolic pressure.
•Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because fluctuations in a person’s blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible, measure and record your blood pressure at the same time every day, and consult your physician if you have questions or concerns.
•If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement, please consult your physician.
Recalling Stored Data
1.Press the Recall button (Fig. 13). The A will appear in the lower part of the display, and then the average value of all the stored data will be displayed (Fig. 14).
•For example, if seven data (measurements) are stored in the memory, the average value of these seven data will be displayed. If there is no data in the memory or if there is only one data in the memory, the A will not be displayed.
2.By pressing the Recall button repeatedly (Fig. 15), you can browse through all the stored data sequentially from the newest data to the oldest (Fig. 16).
•If no data is in the memory, nothing will be displayed.
Note:
Press the Recall button lightly and briefly. If the Recall button is pressed continuously for more than about 2 seconds, all stored data will be deleted.
3.Press the Start (On/Off) button to finish.
•If the data is recalled while the blood pressure monitor is turned off, the monitor will turn off automatically after about 30 seconds.
