About Average Reading; About Pressure Rating Indicator - LifeSource UB-521 Instruction Manual

ABOUT AVERAGE READING

The UB-521 provides an average blood pressure reading
based on the total measurements stored in memory. When
taking a measurement, the average blood pressure reading
will appear and the number of measurements stored in
memory will flash several times before the cuff begins
to inflate. The average blood pressure reading will also
appear briefly when you recall the measurements stored in
memory.

ABOUT PRESSURE RATING INDICATOR™

The Pressure Rating Indicator™ is a feature
which provides a snapshot of your blood pressure
classification based on your measurements.
This will let you quickly know what your blood
pressure readings mean. Each segment of the bar
indicator corresponds to the Seventh Report of the
Joint National Committee (JNC7) on Prevention,
Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure
from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
- May 2003. For a more detailed look at this blood
pressure classification, please refer to "Assessing
High Blood Pressure" on page E-11.
:The indicator displays a segment, based on the current measurement,
corresponding to the JNC7 Classification.
NOTE: Due to other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) in addition to your blood pressure
measurement, the Pressure Rating Indicator is approximate. Please consult with your physician for
interpretation and diagnosis of your blood pressure measurements.
NOTE: Residents outside of the United States (e.g.. Canada and Mexico) should refer to the WHO
Classification Table on page E-11 for assessment of their blood pressure measurement.
