Alarm function signals high blood pressure
Blood pressure values for both systolic and diastolic readings are determined and
indicated via a three-coior LED system as being within normal or hypertensive ranges
based on definitions and ciassification of blood pressure levels by the JNC 7.
Moreover, when blood pressure is in the high range, the reading displayed on screen
flashes on and off to alert user.
According to JNC 7 Classification, values consistently In excess of 140 mmHg (Sys.)
and/or 90 mmHg (DIa.) are considered to constitute high blood pressure.
If the measured blood
pressure value is In the high
blood pressure region, the
values will blink for
approximately 12 seconds.

Advice:
In general, blood pressure measurements are lower for the second measurement because you
are less nervous and are more tranquil.
For people who easily get tense, measuring twice each time Is very efliective.
When two measurements are taken, normally the smaller measurement Is stored.
When taking two measurements, always stay quiet for 4 to 5 minutes after the first measurement
before taking the second measurement.
