RISK CATEGORY INDICATOR
The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services and the National Institutes of Health have
developed a blood pressure standard classifying
blood pressure ranges into 4 stages. This unit is
equipped with an innovative blood pressure
classification indicator, which visually indicates the
assumed risk level (normal, prehypertension, stage 1
hypertension, or stage 2 hypertension) of each
reading. Symbols are described below and
classifications follow the guidelines as described
earlier in this manual (page 5).
