  • Do not swing the device with the strap, which may result in injury.
  • This device displays changes in heart beat, blood oxygenation, etc. which may have varying causes. These may be harmless, but may also be triggered by illnesses or diseases of differing degrees of severity. Please consult a medical specialist if you believe you may have an illness or disease.
  • Vital sign measurements, such as those taken with this device, cannot identify all diseases. Regardless of the measurements taken using this device, you should consult your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms that could indicate a serious disease.
  • Do not self-diagnose or self-medicate based on this device without consulting your doctor. In particular, do not start taking any new medication or change the type and/or dosage of any existing medication without prior approval.
  • This device is not a substitute for a medical examination for your heart or other organ functions, or for medical electrocardiogram recordings, which require more complex measurements.
  • It is not possible to use this device to diagnose illnesses or diseases. This is exclusively the responsibility of your doctor.
  • We recommend that you record the ECG curves and other measurements and provide them to your doctor if required.
  • Clean the device and cuffs with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth moistened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinners, or other harsh chemicals to clean the device or cuffs.
  • Avoid tightly folding the cuffs or wrapping the hoses for long periods, to avoid shortening the component use period.
  • The device and cuffs are not water-resistant. Keep rain, sweat and water from getting on the device and cuffs.
  • Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to televisions, microwave ovens, mobiles phones, X- rays, or other devices with strong electrical fields.
  • Do not modify the device. It may cause damage to the device.
  • To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause pain, numbness, or a temporary red mark on the arm. This condition will appear especially when measurements are repeatedly taken. Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.
  • Do not apply the cuff on an arm with another electronic medical device. The equipment may not function properly.
  • People who have a severe circulatory deficiency in their arm must consult a doctor before using the device, to avoid medical problems.
  • Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment on your own. Always consult your doctor to evaluate the results and subsequent treatment.
  • Do not apply the cuff on an arm with an unhealed wound.
  • Do not apply the cuff on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood transfusion. It may cause injury or accidents.

Using the Monitor

Charging the Battery

Use the USB cable to charge the monitor. Connect the USB cable to a USB charger or to the PC. It takes 2 hours to fully charge. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator will be off.
The monitor works on very low power consumption, and a full charge usually lasts for months. A battery symbol, which indicates the battery status is displayed on the screen.
Note : The device cannot be used while charging.

Blood Pressure Measurement

Before Taking Measurements
To help ensure accurate measurements, follow these directions:

  • Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking measurements.
  • Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements when stressed.
  • Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
  • A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several results over a period of time.
  • Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day to maintain consistency.

Applying the Arm Cuff

  1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1 to 2 cm above the elbow joint, as shown.
  2. Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse and result in measurement errors.
  3. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings.
  4. Confirm that the artery position mark is lined up with the artery.

Note :Keep the host wear position aligned with the middle finger.

Sitting Correctly
To take measurements, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated. Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table, so that the cuff is level with your heart.Wellue-BP1-Blood-
Pressure-Monitor-FIG- \(7\)

Measuring Blood Pressure

  1. Power on the blood pressure monitor.
  2. Press the Start/Stop button to start taking blood pressure measurements.
  3. The monitor will automatically deflate the cuff slowly while taking measurements. A typical measurement takes about 30s.
  4. The readings will be displayed when the measurement is finished.

You can press Start/Stop button again to stop the blood pressure measurement.
Note : While taking measurements, you should remain still and not squeeze the cuff.

After Taking Measurements

  • The monitor will automatically release the gas in the cuff once finished taking measurements.
  • Press the button to turn the power off after taking measurements. Remove the cuff.
    Note : The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns off the power automatically 2 minutes after taking measurements.

Recording ECG

Before Taking Measurements

To help ensure accurate measurements, follow these directions:

  • Before using the ECG function, pay attention to the following points to obtain precise measurements.
  • The ECG electrode must be positioned directly against the skin.
  • If your skin or hands are dry, moisten them using a damp cloth before taking measurements.
  • If the ECG electrodes are dirty, remove the dirt using a soft cloth or cotton swap dampened with disinfection alcohol.
  • While taking measurements, do not touch your body with the hand with which you are taking measurements.
  • Please note that there must be no skin to skin contact between your right and left hand. Otherwise, the measurements cannot be taken correctly.
  • Stay still while taking measurements, do not speak and hold the device still. Movements of any kind will falsify measurements.
  • If possible, take measurements when sitting and not when standing.
  • Follow the text and voice guides on your phone to finish taking measurements.

Recording ECG without the Cable
There are four methods to record ECG without the cable.Wellue-BP1-Blood-
Pressure-Monitor-FIG- \(8\)

To start an ECG Recording:

  1. Put your right palm on the right side electrodes of the monitor.
  2. Place the left side electrodes to the body position that you desired to measure.
  3. Once the body parts are placed on the electrodes, press the Function button to start EKG recording.
  4. Wait for 30 seconds, the result readings will be displayed.

To start recording ECG again, press the Start/Stop button to return to the Home screen, then press the Function button.

Note:

  • The recording must take at least 30 seconds to complete, and to be analyzed by the detectors
  • You can get different signal amplitudes from different methods. Use Lead II mode if the signal is too low in Lead I mode

Turn on/off Heartbeat Sound

The buzzer beeps when a heartbeat is detected while recording ECG. You can turn on/off the heartbeat sound on the App.

Reviewing History Records

  • You can review the history results and replay the recorded
  • ECG waveform on the History screen.
  • Hold the Function button for 2 seconds to enter the History screen. The last measurement results will be displayed by defaultWellue-BP1-Blood-Pressure-Monitor-FIG- \(9\)
  • For ECG recordings, the Heart Rate will be displayed first and then replayed over the 30-second ECG waveform.Wellue-BP1-Blood-Pressure-Monitor-FIG- \(10\)
  • To view the next records, press the NEXT button.
  • To exit the History screen, press the HOME button.
