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’.
