Start the Measurement

  1. Before you take your first reading, decide if you will be USER 1 or USER
  2. It is important to always use the same USER button for every reading because each USER button keeps track of the testing history for each USER in the device’s memory. Apply the arm cuff to your left upper arm.
  3. Press your assigned USER button. The monitor will reset to zero and start the measurement process. If the arm cuff is applied correctly, “OK” will be displayed on the screen. If the arm cuff needs to be adjusted, “NO” will be displayed on the screen. Remove the arm cuff and reapply to your upper arm until you see the “OK” message.
  4. During the inflation process, the monitor will detect pulse rate. Please do not move until the entire measurement process is completed. As the arm cuff deflates, decreasing numbers will appear on the display. The heartbeat symbol will flash at the same time. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff deflates automatically, and the blood pressure values and pulse rate appears on the display.
  5. When your health data has been successfully transmitted, the wireless communication symbol flashes and then lights up.SMARTMETERBloodPressure-Plus-AES-U214-Arm-Blood-Pressure-Monitor-fig-6
  6. In very rare cases, higher pressure inflation may be required. At this point, the monitor will automatically re-inflate to about 40mmHg higher than the initial inflation, and then re-measure, without affecting the measured value.
  7. After you finish the measurement, the blood pressure value and pulse rate will display on the screen. Press the button to turn the monitor off. Or the monitor will automatically switch off after about 60 seconds of inactivity.

Device Settings

  • Enabling/Disabling the Voice Feature
    When the device is powered off, press and hold the SET button for 10 seconds. The symbol “SP” will appear. Press the USER 2 button to switch the voice feature to “off” or “on”, press the USER 1 key to confirm and enter the next setting.

  • Choosing the Unit of Measurement
    When the symbol “PA” appears, press the USER 2 key to switch the measurement unit. When set to “on”, the unit is kPa; when set to “off”, the unit is mmHg.After setting the unit, press the USER 1 key to confirm and shut down the machine automatically.

Apply the Arm Cuff

  1. Place the arm cuff on your upper arm, position the tube off-center toward the inner side of arm in line with the middle finger.
  2. The cuff should not be too tight. You should be able to insert one finger between the cuff and your arm.
  3. Your arm should be at heart level.
  4. Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface. Rest for 5 minutes before measuring.SMARTMETERBloodPressure-Plus-AES-U214-Arm-Blood-Pressure-Monitor-fig-10
  5. Wait at least 4 ­ 5 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood circulation to recover. For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same arm, or as directed by a physician.

Battery Maintenance, Charging the Battery

The iBlood Pressure Plus is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Use the included Type-c USB cable to charge the monitor. will appear on the screen when the monitor needs to be charged.

  1. Insert the USB charging cable into the USB charging socket on the monitor.
  2. Plug the USB charging cable into a DC 5V, 1A adapter and plug into an outlet You can also plug the cable into a powered USB outlet.
  3. When the blood pressure level indicator is full grid display, that means the battery is fully charged.

Note

  1. Charging may take 3-4 hours.
  2. Every 2 months (or when battery life is significantly shorter) , fully charge the monitor and then allow the battery to drain until the monitor shuts off. This will optimize battery performance.
  3. Battery life depends on the frequency and time of use. If battery life is unusually reduced contact Customer Support.
  4. Only use a Type-c USB charging cable to charge the monitor.
  5. Do not use the monitor while charging.
  6. In extreme conditions, the battery may leak corrosive fluid. If this comes into contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with water and seek medical attention.

Adapter use (optional)

  1. The optional AC adapter should be complied with the requirements of IEC 60601-1. In addition, all configurations should meet the requirements of the medical electrical system (see LEC 60601-1 or Article 16 of IEC 60601-1, respectively). Anyone who connects additional equipment to a medical electrical device configures the medical system and, therefore, the system must comply with the requirements of the medical electrical system. Please note that local laws take precedence over the above requirements. If in doubt, please consult your local representative or technical service department.
  2. To remove the AC adapter, first unplug the adapter from the wall outlet, and then disconnect the power cord from the device.

Adapter parameter requirements

  • Output voltage: DC 5V
  • Maximum output current: at least 1A TYPE-C socket

Note: Do not insert the adapter when using the product.

Standard blood pressure classification

Below illustrates the blood pressure classification mode by World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999:

Blood / Level

Pressure(mmHg)

| Optimal| Normal| High- normal| Mild| Moderate| Severe
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
SYS| <120| <130| 130~139| 140~159| 160~179| ≥180
DIA| <80| <85| 85~89| 90~99| 100~109| ≥110

CAUTION: Only a physician can tell you your normal blood pressure range and the point at which you are at risk. Consult your physician to obtain these values. If the measurements taken with these products fall outside the range, consult your physician immediately.

Common Q&A on Blood Pressure

Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?

  1. Individual blood pressure varies throughout the day, it is also affected by the way you apply your arm cuff and your measurement position, so please take the measurement under the same conditions, when possible.
  2. Medications may affect blood pressure readings.
  3. Wait at least 4 ­ 5 minutes between measurements.

Why is the blood pressure I get from the hospital different when I test at home?

Blood pressure varies throughout the day and can be affected by many environmental factors, like stress, weather, exercise, etc. When you measure your blood pressure at home, ensure:

  1. that the arm cuff is applied properly.
  2. that the cuff is not too tight or too lose.
  3. that you are not feeling anxious.

Will my results be different if I measure my blood pressure on my right arm?

  • It is recommended that you use your left arm for measurements but it is okay to use your right arm if you need to. Measuring on your right arm may cause your readings to vary. We suggest measuring on the same arm every time.
