Product Usage Instructions

1. Sit down in a comfortable position, legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, arm and back supported. Uncover your left arm. Rest for 5 minutes before the first measurement.
2. Unroll the cuff and place your left arm inside it. The button should be closer to your elbow, and the Withings logo should be closer to your shoulder.
3. Tighten the cuff around your arm. The tube should be placed slightly toward the inside of your arm, facing the rib cage, about one inch (2.5 cm) above the bend of your elbow. Make sure the cuff is at heart level.
4. Close the cuff at an angle if needed to ensure there are no gaps on the top and bottom. The entire cuff must be in contact with your skin. Make sure the cuff is not touching the left side of your chest. Your arm should be resting comfortably on the table.
5. Place your left arm on a table with the cuff at heart level and your palm facing up.
6. Press the button to turn on the blood pressure monitor. You can select a single or triple measurement with a long press on the button. Press the button again to start the measurement.
7. Do not speak or move during the measurement.
8. If an error message appears on the screen, please refer to the troubleshooting explanations described on page 7, or see the Help Center section available in the Health Mate app.

Important information

Requirements
In order to use your BPM Connect, you need an iOS (14.0 or higher) or Android (8.0 and higher) device to install it. Thereafter, the product can be used without your mobile device on you, thanks to the Wi-Fi connection. For Bluetooth® connection, you will need your phone to synchronize your results to see them in the application.

Important safety information
Consult your doctor if you suffer from arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis. Please read this section carefully before using the BPM Connect Wi-Fi Smart Blood Pressure Monitor.

Intended use
The BPM Connect is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and heart rate. The device is intended to be used in a human adult population with an arm circumference of 9 inches to 17 inches (22 cm to 42 cm).
BPM Connect is a medical device.
Contact your physician if hypertensive values are indicated.
The user is an intended operator.

General safety and precautions
Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff. | Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm. | Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to the blood pressure monitor or drop it. | Do not take measurement after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising or eating. | Do not immerse the arm cuff in water. | Use on adults only. | Do not use on children or pets.

General usage
Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self- treatment are dangerous. People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders should consult a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor. Cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding. Operational factors such as common arrhythmias, ventricular premature beats, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age or renal disease can affect the performance of the automated sphygmomanometer and/or its blood pressure reading. This is a precision measuring device that may be understood by lay users, but should still be handled with care. Exposing the device to prolonged lint, dust or sunlight might reduce its life or damage it. A damaged cuff or sensor may lead to incorrect meas-urements. The USB port should only be used for recharging the device. Parts in contact with the skin: cuff. Measurements can be affected by extreme temperatures, humidity & altitude.

Caution

• Do not leave the blood pressure monitor unattended with infants or people who cannot express their consent.

• Do not use the blood pressure monitor for any purpose other   than measuring blood pressure.

• Do not disassemble the blood pressure monitor.

• Do not operate the blood pressure monitor in a moving vehicle  (car, airplane).

• Do not use the device with the USB cable plugged in. Improper continuous pressure of cuff or too-frequent measurements may interfere with blood flow and result in injury to  the user. Check to ensure that the use of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of your blood circulation. Do not apply the cuff over the user’s arm if it has a wound
  or medical treatment, as this can cause further injury.

• Consult your physician before using this monitor if you have had a mastectomy.

• Use of the device can temporarily cause the loss of function of equipment that is used simultaneously on the same limb.
