individual's blood pressure varies among different
people, age groups, etc.

To determine category of risk when systolic and diastolic readings fall
into two areas, use the higher of the two numbers for classification.
It is important that you consult with your physician
regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood
pressure range as well as the point at which you will
be considered at risk.
For reliable monitoring and reference of blood pressure,

HOW THIS BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR WORKS
This manual inflate digital blood pressure monitor
provides systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and
pulse readings quickly and easily. Once the cuff is
inflated, the monitor will determine your blood
pressures by analysis of your pressure oscillations.
When the measurement is completed, the device will
deflate the cuff and display your systolic pressure,
diastolic pressure and pulse readings.
