INTENDED USE

The iHealth Wireless Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor (Electronic Sphygmomanometer) is intended for use in a professional setting or at home and is a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system. It is designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the wrist. The measurement range of the cuff circumference is 5.3″ to 8.7″(13 .5cm-22cm).

BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION FOR ADULTS

The World Health Organization (WHO) has created the following guide for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender). Please note that other factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) also need to be considered. Consult with your physician for accurate assessment.

Classifications of Blood Pressure for Adult

Note : This chart is not intended to provide a basis for any type of emergency condition or diagnosis based on the color scheme; this chart only depicts different classifications of blood pressure. Consult your physician for proper interpretation of blood pressure results.

CONTRAINDICATION

It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to use this Wireless Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor.

e. Please repeat these steps when you switch to another iOS device with the monitor.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES

Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition. It is very important that you keep your wrist at heart level.

1. Be seated comfortably with your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your wrist, body, or the monitor.

2. Place your hand palm-side up in front of you and wrap the cuff around a bare wrist 1-2cm above the wrist joint. If the monitor is correctly placed, iHealth logo will be facing upright.

3. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of your heart.
4. It is advised to place the monitor’s travel case under your arm for support and to keep your arm at optimal height for measurement.

5. Adjust the height of your wrist, the App will detect your wrist position and the measurement will start ONLY when the correct position is detected. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin measurement.

Remember to:

1. Make sure that the appropriate cuff size is used; refer to the cuff
circumference range in “ SPECIFICATIONS ”.
2. Measure on the same wrist each time.
3. Stay still and calm for one to one and half minutes before taking a blood pressure measurement. Prolonged over-inflation of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your arm.
4. Keep the cuff clean. Cleaning the cuff after every 200 times of usage is recommended. If the cuff becomes dirty, clean it with a moistened cloth. Do not rinse the monitor or cuff with running water.

Press the “ START/STOP ” button to stop measurement. Press the “ START/STOP ” button for 2 seconds to turn off the monitor manually.

Auto Connect Option
Auto connect option allows the monitor to find the last used iOS device and reestablish the connection with your iOS device automatically. Auto connect option can be enabled in the App. (Device Setting->Auto Connect->On).

Taking Measurements with Multiple iOS Devices
Turn off the Bluetooth on the last used iOS device if the Auto Connect option is enabled in your App, then follow the set up instructions in the Quick Start Guide.

Measuring without an iOS Device
Enable the Offline Measurement function on the App. (Device Setting->Offline Measurement->On) Apply the cuff, follow the measurement instructions, and then press the “START/STOP” button to begin measurement. All offline measurements will be uploaded to the App automatically upon the next successful Bluetooth connection.
For detailed operating instructions, please visit www.ihealthlabs.com.
Note: Physical activity including eating, drinking, and smoking as well as excitement, stress, and many other factors influence blood pressure results.

ATTENTION : You can stop the measurement process at any time by pressing and holding the “ START/STOP ” button for 2 seconds.

2. Consult your physician for any of the following situations:
a) The application of the cuff over a wound or inflamed area.
b) The application of the cuff on any limb with intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt.
c) The application of the cuff on the wrist on the side of a mastectomy.
d) Simultaneous use with other medical monitoring equipment on the same limb.
e) The blood circulation of the user needs to be checked.
3. Do not use this product in a moving vehicle as this may result in inaccurate measurements.
4. Blood pressure measurements determined by this product are equivalent to those obtained by professional healthcare practitioners using the
cuff/stethoscope auscultation method within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometer.
5. When a call comes in during the measurement, the measurement process will be terminated automatically. It is recommended that the iOS device be set in Airplane mode during measurement to avoid strong magnetism interference.
