Risk Category Index; Irregular Heartbeat Detector - Walgreens WGNBPA-540 Instructions Manual

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

that cues provided by this monitor are only intended 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.
