Understanding Your Readings

• Systolic Pressure: Top number (pressure when heart beats).
• Diastolic Pressure: Bottom number (pressure when heart rests).
• Pulse: Heartbeats per minute (normal range 60-100 bpm).
• Hypertension Indicator: Appears if systolic ≥135 mmHg or diastolic ≥85 mmHg.
• Irregular Heartbeat Symbol: Appears if irregular rhythm detected during measurement.
• WHO Bar Graph: Green (normal), Yellow (pre-hypertension), Red (hypertension).

Note: Single readings may vary. Consult your physician about your target range and monitoring schedule.
