Extreme Blood Pressure

What are the limits on Blood pressure extremes?  Is there any known standard for the range?  I have had friends and/or relatives that have had blood pressures ranging well into the 200s for Systolic and as low as the mid 40s on diastolic.  It seems that many personal use bp monitors I have investigated do not handle these extremes particularly well.
