RISK CATEGORY INDEX
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk
Category Index that automatically compares each
reading to criteria established by the U.S. National
Institute of Health’s (NIH) National Heart Lung and
Blood Institute as described earlier in this manual,
and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls
in the normal range as defined by NIH. Please
note that cues provided by this monitor are only
intended to assist you in using this table. The
table and cues are only provided for convenience
to have access to the NIH information. They are
not a substitute for a medical examination by your
physician. It is important for you to consult with
your physician regularly. Your physician will tell
you your normal blood pressure range as well as
the point at which you may actually be considered
to be at risk.
Note:
1. This monitor automatically turns off approximately
1 minute after last operation. You may also press
the START/STOP button to turn the unit off.
2. To interrupt the measurement, you may press
the START/STOP button (recommended), “M”,
“Language”, “Talking Mode”, User-Select or
Date/Time Set (
/

deflate immediately after a button is pressed.
