5.6. Traffic Light Indicator
The bars on the left-hand edge of the display show you the range within which the indi-
cated 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 card on the front of the monitor or 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 only one bar, your measurement is in the green zone, or
“Normal” according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has two bars, it is in the yellow zone, or “Pre-Hypertension”
according to NIH standards.
• If your measurement has three bars, it is in the orange “Stage 1 Hypertension” zone.
• If your measurement has four bars, it is in the red “Stage 2 Hypertension” zone.
