However, these standard values serve only as a general
guideline, as the individual blood pressure varies in different
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 chart on the display and the scale on the unit show
which category the recorded blood pressure values fall into.
If the values of systole and diastole fall into two different
WHO categories (e.g. systole in the ‘High normal’ category
and diastole in the ‘Normal’ category), the graphical WHO
classification on the unit always shows the higher category;
for the example given this would be ‘High normal’.
