WHO Indicator & IHB Detection

WHO Classification Indicator: Color-coded bar graph shows:

• Green: Optimal/Normal (SYS < 130, DIA < 85)
• Yellow: High Normal/Mild Hypertension (SYS 130-159, DIA 85-99)
• Red: Moderate/Severe Hypertension (SYS ≥ 160, DIA ≥ 100)

Irregular Heartbeat Detection (IHB):

• IHB symbol flashes during measurement if irregular heartbeat detected.
• Measurement continues; result displayed with IHB symbol.
• If too many irregularities, error "E4" may appear.
• Consult physician if IHB symbol appears frequently.
