5.6. Traffic Light Indicator (6023 only)
The dots on the left-hand edge of the display show you the range within which the indi-
cated blood pressure value lies. Depending on the height of the dots the readout value
is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (red) range.
The classification is based on standards established by the National Institutes of Health
JNC7, 2003.
The traffic light dots rise according to your measurement.
• If your measurement has only one dot, your measurement is in the green zone, or
“Normal” according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has two or three dots, it is in the yellow zone, or “Pre-Hyperten-
sion” according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has four dots, it is in the orange “Stage 1 Hypertension” zone.
• If your measurement has five or more dots, it is in the red “Stage 2 Hypertension”
zone.
