In this mode, the device will automatically switch off after 1 minute of inactivity. c.

Assessing High Blood Pressure for Adults The following guidelines for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender) have been established by the World Health Organization (WHO). Please note that other factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) need to be taken into consideration.
