First Time Setup Instructions

Connect the cuff to your iHealth Ease by inserting the cuff tubing connector into the air port on the left side of the monitor. Make sure that the connector is completely inserted to avoid air leakage during blood pressure measurements.

Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing during measurement, as it may cause inflation error, or harmful injury due to continuous cuff pressure.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition. It is very important that the cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart.

Body Posture
Sitting Comfortably During Measurement

a. Sit with your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your arm, body, or the monitor.
b. Place your hand palm-side up in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or a table
c. The center of the cuff should be at your heart level.

Lying Down During Measurement

a. Lie on your back.
b. Place your left arm straight along your side with your hand palm-side up.
c. The cuff should be level with your heart.

Note: Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition, so it is important that you always measure your blood pressure in the same position.

Apply the Cuff

a. Pull the cuff end through the metal loop, positioning it outward (away from your body).
b. Place your bare left arm through the cuff with the red arrow facing up and position the cuff 1/2″(1-2cm) above the elbow joint.

c. Tighten the cuff by pulling it towards your body, securing it closed with the Velcro fastener.
d. While seated, place your hand, palm-side up, in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or table. Position the monitor in the middle of your arm so that it is aligned with your middle finger.
e. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your left arm. You should be able to insert one finger between your arm and the cuff.

Remember to:

1. Make sure that the appropriate cuff size is used; refer to the cuff circumference range in the Specifications section of this manual.
2. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your arm, body or the monitor.
3. Stay still and calm for one to one and half minutes before taking a blood pressure measurement. Prolonged over-inflation of the cuff may cause bruises of your arm.
4. Keep the cuff clean. Cleaning the cuff after every 200 measurements is recommended. If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor and clean it with a moistened cloth. Do not rinse the monitor or cuff with running water.

Press the “ ” button at any time to interrupt a measurement.

Note : Physical activity, eating, drinking, smoking, excitement, stress, and many other factors influence blood pressure results.
