WHO classification:
According to WHO Guidelines/Definitions and the latest find-
ings, the test results can be classified and evaluated according
to the following chart:
The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate
the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded. If
the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in two differ-
ent WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal range and
diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic WHO clas-
sification on the unit indicates the higher range (high-normal in
the example described). 6. Saving, retrieving and deleting results
