It is important to consult your doctor regularly for
advice. Your doctor will tell you your individual values
for normal blood pressure as well as the value above
which your blood pressure is classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the
unit show which category the recorded blood pressure
values fall into. If the systolic and diastolic values fall
into two different categories, the classification indicator
on the device always shows the higher category.
