5.8. Hypertension risk indicator
The bars on the left-hand edge of the display show you the range within which the
indicated blood pressure value lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout
value is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (orange, red)
range.
The classification is based on standards established by the National Institutes of
Health JNC7, 2003.
The traffic light bar raises according to your measurement.
• If the bar is in the green zone, your measurement is "Normal," according to NIH
standards.
• If the bar is in the yellow zone, your measurement is "Pre-Hypertension."
• If the bar is in the orange zone, it is "Stage 1 Hypertension."
• If the bar is in the red zone, it is "Stage 2 Hypertension."
