The Canadian Hypertension Society (CHS) recommends the following
guideline for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:
CHS Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on
age and morbidity. The CHS recommends a lower home blood
pressure goal for certain patients, including people with
diabetes or kidney disease

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

Omron Healthcare recommends you contact your physician if the
