The bar chart on the display and the scale on the unit show which cat-
egory the recorded blood pressure values fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different categories (e.g.
systole in the High normal category and diastole in the Normal category),
the graphical classification on the device always shows the higher cat-
egory; for the example given this would be High normal.
