WHO classification:
In accordance with the guidelines/definitions of the World Health
Organization and the latest findings, the measurements can be
classified and assessed according to the following table.
However, these standard values serve only as a general guide-
line, 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 pres-
sure as well as the value above which your blood pressure is
classified as dangerous.
The classification 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 dias-
tole 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’.
