 Risk Category Indicator (AHA 2017)
This device is equipped with Risk Category Indicator which classifies your
blood pressure measurements into five stages (Normal, Elevated,
Hypertension stage 1, Hypertension stage 2 and Hypertensive crisis)
based on the blood pressure standards established by the American Heart
Association (AHA). Besides, for yours and your loved ones' health, we
further classify the five stages into numeral ranges, which sorts out
hypertension symptoms more clearly. Moreover, to your convenience and
readability, we use three corresponding colors to represent your
measuring result. Refer to below comparison chart for details:

After measurement, LCD displays the systolic and diastolic pressure, heart
rate, date and time along with Risk Category Indicator bar. The higher the
blood pressure, the higher the bar. Compare the bar with the three colors at
the right of LCD display to know the classification of your blood pressure
based on American Heart Association standard (AHA 2017).

*Note
When a person's systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories, the higher category
should apply.
e.g. systolic Pressure 181 & diastolic pressure 99  Red category (Hypertensive crisis)
e.g. systolic Pressure 110 & diastolic Pressure 95  Red category (Hypertension stage 2)
*Note !
The above table is not exact for classification of blood pressure and it's intended to be used as a
guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements.
Usually this is not a cause for concern; however we recommend you consult with your physician for
proper diagnosis or seek medical advice according to our recommendation mentioned above. Please
note that the device does not appropriate to diagnose hypertension, and it is only for user reference
on blood pressure monitoring.
