According to WHO Guidelines/Definitions and the
latest findings, the test results can be classified and
evaluated according to the following chart.
The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit
indicate the range of the blood pressure which has
been recorded. An accoustic evaluation of your mea-
surement also follows.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in
two different WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-
normal range and diastolic pressure in the normal
range) the graphic WHO classification on the unit in-
dicates the higher range (high-normal in the example
described).

6. Saving, retrieving and deleting results
• The results of each successful measurement are
stored together with date and time. With more than
60 items of measured data, the earliest items of da-
ta measured are lost.
• In order to retrieve measurement results again,
press the memory button ‚MEM'. The instrument
first displays the number of memory spaces oc-
cupied and then automatically switches to the last
saved test result.
If you continue pressing the memory button ‚MEM',
the last results in each case are measured are
displayed with date, time and graphic WHO classifi-
cation.
