Precautions
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.
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 (5.3 ~ 7.7 inch).
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.
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 1 minute 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.
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.
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.
*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.
*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.
*Note!
When a person’s systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories, the higher category
should apply.
e.g. systolic rate 181 & diastolic rate 99 → Red category (Severe Hypertension)
e.g. systolic rate 110 & diastolic rate 95 → Red category (Mild Hypertension)
*Note!
The above table 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. Usually this is not a cause for concern;
however we recommend you consult with your physician for proper diagnosis or seek medical advice
according to our recommendation mentioned above. Please note that the device does not appropriate
to diagnose hypertension, and it is only for user reference on blood pressure monitoring.
