INTERPRETING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
Hypertension Indicator - WHO Classifications
This unit features our unique Hypertension Indicator.
The color bars on the left side of the monitor display
correspond with an icon on the digital display, indicating
where the measurement results fall within the World Health
Organization standards.
This chart can help you identify where your blood pressure
measurements fall according to WHO classification
standards. This chart should only be considered as a
guideline; always consult with your physician to interpret
your individual results. Never adjust your medication(s)
dosage, or severely alter your diet or exercise routine
without consulting with your physician.
