RISK CATEGORY INDEX

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index
that automatically compares each reading to defined levels
established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health's (NIH)
National Heart Lung and Blood Institute as described earlier
in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your reading
falls into one of the stages that could potentially indicate
increased risk. No cue is given if the reading falls in the
normal range as defined by NIH. Please note that cues
provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you
in using this table. The table and cues are only provided
for convenience to help you understand your non-invasive
blood pressure reading as it relates to the NIH information.
They are not a substitute for a medical examination by
your physician. It is important for you to consult with your
physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal
blood pressure range as well as the point at which you may
actually be considered to be at risk.
