Omron Healthcare COMFIT HEM-780 - Manual (Page 12)

The American Heart Association 1 recommends the following guideline
for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends
on age and morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home
blood pressure goal for certain patients, including diabetic
patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure
1 .
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
WARNING
Contact your physician for specific information about your
blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured
results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your
physician or licensed healthcare provider.
Omron Healthcare recommends you contact your physician if the
MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL and/or the HEARTBEAT
SYMBOL appear on the display with your measurement values.

The Morning Hypertension Symbol is displayed if the morning
average reading for a week is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure
