show "00". The monitor is "Ready to Measure"
and will automatically inflate the cuff to start
measurement.
3. The cuff will begin deflating as measurement
continues.
Note: This monitor will re-inflate automatically if the
system detects that your body requires more
pressure for measurement.
4. When the measurement is
completed, the cuff will deflate
entirely. Systolic pressure, diastolic
pressure and pulse will be shown
simultaneously on the LCD screen.
The measurement is then
automatically stored into

RISK CATEGORY INDEX
This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Index that
automatically compares each reading to criteria established
by the U.S. National Institute 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 shown 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 have access 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.
