ReliOn 6021REL instruction manual AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

The American Heart Association (AHA) 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.
