It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice. Your
doctor will tell you your individual values for normal blood
pressure as well as the value above which your blood pressure
is classified as dangerous.
The classification on the display and the scale on the unit show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into. If
the systolic and diastolic values fall into two different categories,
the Risk Indicator on the device always shows the higher
category.
