• If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but exceptionally high
under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you are
suffering from so-called "labile hypertension." Consult your doctor.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120 mmHg require
immediate medical treatment.
Hypertension risk 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 (orange, red)
range.
The classification is based on standards established by the National Institutes of
Health JNC7, 2003.
The traffic light bar illuminates according to your measurement.
• If your measurement has only the green bar,
your measurement is "Normal," according
to NIH standards.
• If your measurement shows the yellow bar, your measurement is "Pre-Hypertension."
• If your measurement shows the orange bar, it is "Stage 1 Hypertension."
• If your measurement shows the red bar, it is "Stage 2 Hypertension."
