WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the
World Heath Organization and the latest findings, the
measurements can be classified and assessed accor-
ding to the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in diffe-
rent people and different age groups etc.
It is important to consult your doctor regularly for advice.
Your doctor will tell you your individual values for normal
blood pressure as well as the value above which your
blood pressure is classified as dangerous.

The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit
indicate the range of the blood pressure which has been
recorded. An accoustic evaluation of your measurement
also follows.
If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in
two different WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-nor-
mal range and diastolic pressure in the normal range)
the graphic WHO classification on the unit indicates the
higher range (high-normal in the example described).
6. Saving, retrieving and deleting results
• The results of each successful measurement are
stored together with date and time. With more than
60 items of measured data, the earliest items of data
measured are lost.
