Manual

5 6

Users can compare their own blood pressure readings against these

defined levels to determine if they may be potentially at increased risk.

This table is applicable to most adults aged 18 and older.

Blood pressure tends to go up and down, even in people who normally

don’t have high readings. If your numbers stay above the “normal” range

most of the time, you may be at increased risk and should consult your

physician.

Although one can easily find where their own blood pressure readings

fall on this table, this monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category

Index that automatically compares each reading to the defined levels

and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the stages

that could potentially indicate increased risk. See page 19 for more

information on this feature.

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 help you understand your non-invasive blood pressure

reading as it relates 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.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery walls while blood

flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart

contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood

pressure. The pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood

flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?

Among today’s various health problems, those associated with high

blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure dangerously

correlates with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, blood pressure

monitoring is important for identifying those at risk.

Why Do My Readings Vary?

Blood pressure is a body parameter that is subject to normal variations

throughout the day. A single reading that is different from yours or

your doctor’s readings are not necessarily inaccurate. The average of

several readings, taken under similar conditions, using the same arm is

preferred for accurate blood pressure readings.

Why Are My Readings Different Than Those Taken at My

Doctor’s Office?

Many experience a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension”

when measured by a doctor. White Coat Hypertension refers to blood

pressure that rises above its usual level when measured in a clinical

setting, such as a doctor’s office.

BLOOD PRESSURE STANDARD

The table on page 6 contains defined levels for hypertension that are

publicly available from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute at the

U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)

(http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html).

I just measured my blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor, but what is considered a 'normal' blood pressure? Verified

In general a systolic pressure of 120 and a diastolic pressure of 80 is considered normal or healthy. People aged 60 and over can have a slightly higher blood pressure.
