RISK CATEGORY INDICATOR
The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services and the National Institutes of Health have
developed a blood pressure standard classifying
blood pressure ranges into 4 stages. This unit is
equipped with an innovative blood pressure classifi-
cation indicator, which visually indicates the assumed
risk level (normal, prehypertension, stage 1 hyperten-
sion, or stage 2 hypertension) of each reading.
Symbols are described below and classifications fol-
low the guidelines as described earlier in this manual
(page 5).
