consult your physician in order to determine if it is cause

for concern. Do not try to interpret readings or attempt to

treat any condition yourself. Always follow the guidance of

a health professional. If you have an emergency call 911

immediately.

6.2 World Health Organization (WHO) classification

WARNING:

The WHO chart is not intended to replace a medical

•

diagnosis. This chart is only a reference for different

classifications of blood pressure.

According to WHO Guidelines/Definitions and the latest

findings, the test results of adults can be classified and

evaluated according to the following chart:

Range of blood pressure values Systolic (in mmHg) Diastole (in mmHg) Measure

Grade 3: Severe hypertension >=180 >=110 Seek medical advice

Grade 2: Moderate hypertension 160 –179 100 –109 Seek medical advice

Grade 1: Mild hypertension 140 –159 90 – 99 Have it checked regularly by doctor

High-normal 130 –139 85 – 89 Have it checked regularly by doctor

Normal 120 –129 80 – 84 Check it yourself

Optimal <120 <80 Check it yourself

Note: This standard, however, is a general guideline as an

individual’s blood pressure varies among different people,

age groups, etc. Please consult your physician for proper

diagnosis.

The bar graph in the display and the scale on the unit indicate

the range of the blood pressure which has been recorded.

Note: If the values for systolic and diastolic pressure are in

two different WHO ranges (e.g. systolic in the high-normal

range and diastolic pressure in the normal range) the graphic

WHO classification on the unit indicates the higher range

(high-normal in the example described).
