Risk Category Index - Walgreens WGNBPA-230 Manual

RISK CATEGORY INDEX

This monitor comes equipped with a Risk Category Indicator that
automatically compares each reading to defined levels established by
the American Heart Association
manual, and provides a helpful cue if your reading falls into one of the
stages that could potentially indicate increased risk. Please note that
cues provided by this monitor are only intended to assist you in using
this table.
The table is only provided for your convenience to help you understand
your noninvasive blood pressure readings as it relates to the AHA 2017
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.
