Medel CONTROL - Saving, Displaying and Deleting Measured Values

However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different
people and different age groups etc.
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 bar chart on the display and the scale on the unit show
which category 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 category; for the
example given this would be High normal.

The results of every successful measurement are stored
together with the date and time. If there are more than 30
measurements, the oldest measurements are lost.

average value of the morning measurements for the last
