Risk Category Indicator (AHA 2017)
This device is equipped with Risk Category Indicator which classifies your
blood pressure measurements into five stages (Normal, Elevated,
Hypertension stage 1, Hypertension stage 2 and Hypertensive crisis) based
on the blood pressure standards established by the American Heart
Association (AHA). Besides, for yours and your loved ones’health, we
further classify the five stages into numeral ranges, which sorts out
hypertension symptoms more clearly. Moreover, to your convenience and
readability, we use three corresponding colors to represent your measuring
result. Refer to below comparison chart for details:
After measurement, LCD displays the systolic and diastolic pressure,
heart rate, date and time along with Risk Category Indicator bar. The
higher the blood pressure, the higher the bar. Compare the bar with the three
colors at the left of LCD display to know the classification of your blood
pressure based on American Heart Association standard (AHA 2017).
*Note
!
When a person’s systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories, the higher
category should apply.
e.g. systolic rate 181 & diastolic rate 99 Red category (Hypertensive crisis)
e.g. systolic rate 110 & diastolic rate 95 Red category (Hypertension stage 2)
*Note !
The above table is not exact for classification of blood pressure and it's intended to be used
as a guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements.
Usually this is not a cause for concern; however we recommend you consult with your
physician for proper diagnosis or seek medical advice according to our recommendation
mentioned above. Please note that the device does not appropriate to diagnose hypertension,
and it is only for user reference on blood pressure monitoring.
