Alarm function signals high blood pressure
Blood
pressure
values for both systolic and diastolic readings are
determined
and indicated via a three-color LED system as being within
normal or hypertensive ranges based on definitions and classification of
blood pressure levels by the JNC 7. Moreover, when blood pressure is in the
high range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user.
According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg
(Sys.) and/or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure.
