RISK CATEGORY INDEX

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Indicator that
automatically compares each reading to defined levels established
by the American Heart Association
in this manual, and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into
one of the stages that could potentially indicate increased risk.
Please note that cues provided by this monitor are only intended to
assist you in using this table.
The table is only provided for your convenience to help you
understand your noninvasive blood pressure readings as it relates
to the AHA 2017 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.
