What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The blood pressure classification published by World Health Organization (WHO) and International
Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999 is as follows:
CAUTION
Only a physician can tell your normal BP range. Please contact a physician if your measuring result falls out of the

180 ~ severe
160 ~ 179 medium
140 ~ 159 moderate
130 ~ 139 high normal
120 ~ 129 normal

SYSTOLIC mmHG
DIASTOLIC mmHG
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is measuring the
systolic and diastolic blood pressure. During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat
intervals and works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, the
irregular heartbeat symbol
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with an irregular heart-beat
was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol
appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a
cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
