MEDICAL DISCLAIMER
This manual and product are not meant as a substitute for advice provided by your doctor.
You are not to use the information contained herein, or this product for diagnosing or treating a health problem or prescribing any medication. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem, promptly consult your healthcare provider.
INTENDED USE
This device uses the oscillometric method to automatically measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate. The measurement position is at human being’s wrist. All values can be read out in one LCD panel. The device is designed for home use and recommended for use by adults aged 18 years and older with wrist circumference ranging 135 ~ 195 mm (approx. 5.3 ~ 7.7 inch).
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
1. What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries.
Arterial blood pressure is constantly fluctuating during the course of the cardiac cycle.
The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is beating. The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is at rest. Both the systolic and the diastolic pressure are necessary for a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety or the time of day, can influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the mornings and increases from the afternoon to the evening.
It is on average lower in the summer and higher in the winter.
2. Why is it useful to measure blood pressure at home?
Having one’s blood pressure measured by a doctor in a hospital or a clinic, is often associated with a phenomenon called “White Coat Hypertension” where the patient becomes nervous or anxious, thus raising his blood pressure. There are also numerous other factors that might cause your blood pressure to be raised at a specific time of day. This is why medical practitioners recommend home monitoring as it is important to get readings of blood pressure during different times of the day to really get an idea of your real blood pressure.
Medical practitioners generally recommend the “Rule of 3”, where you are encouraged to take your blood pressure three times in a row (at 3~5 minutes interval), three times a day for three days.
After three days you can average all the results and this will give you an accurate idea of what your blood pressure really is.
25 ENGLISH
A. WHO blood pressure classifications:
Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure without regard to age, have been established by the World
Health Organization (WHO), as shown in the chart.
However this chart is not exact for classification of blood pressure and it’s intended to be used as a guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements.
Please consult with your physician for proper diagnosis.
B. Variations in blood pressure:
Individual blood pressures vary greatly both on a daily and a seasonal basis. These variations are even more pronounced in hyper tense patients.
Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest during sleeping period.
(hyper tense: means a person who has high blood pressure symptom.)
The graph below illustrated the variations in blood pressure over a whole day with measurement taken every five minutes.
The thick line represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12 PM (B in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain.
PRECAUTIONS
* Do not use this manual and product as a substitute for advice, diagnosing or treating a health problem or prescribing any medication by your doctor. If you have a medical problem, promptly consult your healthcare provider.
* Read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before measuring and keep it at hand for your reference at any time.
* This device uses the oscillometric method to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as your heart rate. It’s recommended for use by people over the age of 18 and not to be used on infant or children.
* The device is designed for home use and not suitable for clinical use.
• Do not take a measurement in a low (less than 41°F/5°C) and high (more than 104°F/40°C) temperature, nor in a place outside humidity ranges (15% ~ 93% R.H.), and atmospheric pressure ranges (700 ~ 1060 hPa)” or you may get inaccurate readings.
• Wait 30 ~ 45 minutes before measurement if you’ve just consumed caffeinated beverages or smoked cigarettes.
ENGLISH 26
• Rest at least 5 ~ 10 minutes before taking a measurement.
• To allow your blood vessels to return to the condition prior to taking the measurement, please wait at least
3 ~ 5 minutes in between measurements. You may need to adjust the wait time according to your personal physiological situation.
• We recommend you using the same wrist (preferably the left wrist) and measuring around the same time each day.
• Sit down comfortably and place your elbow on the table with your feet flat on the floor. Please do not cross your legs during measurements.
• Keep the device at heart level. Relax your hand with the palm facing up.
• Perform measurements in a quiet and relaxed environment at room temperature.
• Do not move or shake the device during a measurement. Please keep quite and do not talk at the same time.
• Keep in mind that blood pressure naturally varies from time to time through out the day and is affected by lots of different factors such as stress, eating, smoking, alcohol consumption, medication, and physical activity, etc.
Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest during sleeping period.
• Blood pressure measurements should be interpreted by a physician or a trained health professional who is familiar with your medical history. Using the unit and recording the results regularly for your physician to interpret, you will keep your physician informed of the continuing changes in your blood pressure.
• If you have one of the circulatory problems as arteriosclerosis, diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, severe hypertension, peripheral circulation….., please consult your healthcare professional before using the device.
• This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias and pregnant women.
• Blood pressure measurements taken with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff / stethoscope auscultation method and are within the accuracy limits prescribed by the
Standard of EN 1060-4.
• For those who have had mastectomy surgery (especially whose’ lymph nodes removed), it’s recommend take a measurement on the unaffected side.
• When used among medical electronic equipments on the same limb, pressurization of the cuff may cause temporarily malfunction to other devices.
Results are not intended for direct diagnosis. Please consult with a physician if you have any questions or concerns about your results.
This product is not suitable for:
- Pregnant women

FEATURES
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
The symbol will appear on screen indicating a certain heartbeat irregularity was detected during measurement. The heartbeat rhythm that is more than or less than 25% from the average rhythm is usually defined as an irregular heartbeat rhythm. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this symbol. Usually this is not a cause for concern, however if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice.
And please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
*Note!
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers. If a certain pulse irregularity is detected during measurement often, we recommend you seek medical advice
• As a safeguard, we recommend that if you have arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats and atrial fibrillation or any other special conditions you should check with your physician before using your device.
• The IHB function is not designed for use by people with arrhythmias nor for diagnosing or treating an arrhythmic problem. In order to filter the unstable status of user and avoid affecting the detection of heart rate from any movement, shaking or talking in the beginning of measurement, the method of averaging heart beat intervals of subject device is calculated with the three proper heart beat pulses detected in the beginning of measurement and that is different from a strict mathematical averaging of all recorded intervals.
• At least 3 beats with at least 25% difference from the average heart beat interval will generate the IHB icon on the screen.
