About Pressure Rating Indicator - LifeSource UB-351 Instruction Manual

ABOUT BLOOD 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-10.
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.
