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.
