5.7. Traffic Light Indicator
The bars on the left-hand edge of the display show you the range within
which the indicated blood pressure value lies. Depending on the height of
the bar, 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. Refer to the chart in section 2.2 of this
instruction manual for details of the classifications.
The traffic light bar raises according to your measurement.
• If your measurement has one bar, your measurement is in the green
zone, or “Normal” according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has 2-3 bars, it is in the yellow zone, or “Pre-
Hypertension” according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has four bars, it is in the orange “Stage 1
Hypertension” zone.
• If your measurement has 5-6 bars, it is in the red “Stage 2
Hypertension” zone.
