ABOUT AvERAGE READING

The UA-853 provides an average blood pressure reading based
on the total measurements stored in memory. The average
blood pressure reading appears briefly when you recall the
measurements stored in memory. You can also access your
AM/PM Average Readings by pressing the MEMORY button,
then the AM or PM button.

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-16.
: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.
