Alarm Funciton Signals High Blood Pressure; Storing Blood Pressure Readings - Panasonic EW3037 Operating Instructions Manual

Alarm function signals high blood pressure
Blood pressure values for both systolic and diastolic readings are
determined and indicated via a three-color LED system as being within
normal or hypertensive ranges based on definitions and classification of
blood pressure levels by the JNC 7. Moreover, when blood pressure is in the
high range, the reading displayed on screen flashes on and off to alert user.
According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently in excess of 140 mmHg
(Sys.) and/or 90 mmHg (Dia.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure.

CAUTION:
• For persons with poor circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease,
arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure or other conditions, there may be
significant differences in blood pressure values measured at the wrist
versus at the upper arm.
