Instruction Manual

Thank you for choosing iProven. Please read the instructions carefully in order to accurately and safely utilize this device.
The BPM-617 measures blood pressure and heart rate and saves the results. It offers real-time clinically accurate readings that are simple and easy to read thanks to the Oscillometric Measuring method. This method measures blood pressure
while the cuff is inflating thereby offering fast and accurate results. The inflation stops once the maximum blood pressure measurement has been achieved.
This avoids any discomfort or excessive squeezing of the wrist.
Blood pressure measurements may be invalid or inaccurate if they are not performed in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Please keep this manual handy for future reference.
You can also find the digital version on www.iproven.com

Intended use of the BPM
The BPM-617 is an upper arm digital monitor that is used for measuring blood pressure and heart rate with an arm circumference ranging from 8 ¾” – 16 ½” (22cm to 42cm). The device is intended for home use and adults only. The cuff should be maintained at the same level as the heart.

Special features
The BPM-617 comes with a user memory feature that can save up to 250 measurements for two different users (500 total), aside from a guest mode. You can sync your device with the app, to store an unlimited number of measurements. The device provides an average of the last three readings taken within 30 minutes so that you can keep track of your health and check for hypertension.
Upon completing a new measurement, it will also display your prior measurement for an easy instant comparison of readings. The voice broadcast mode (which can be switched on or off) makes it easy to know your results without having to check the screen.

The large, 5.7” wide, high-contrast monitor screen and backlit dis-play help read results easily, even in the dark. The device is FDA-ap-proved and comes with a WHO indicator and a five-year warranty. It is also one of the quieter devices with a noise level of less than 48dB.

Setting the user ID
There are 3 user IDs. User 1 and user 2, with memory storage of 250 readings each, and a guest user with no memory space.

When the display is off, press the SET button and the user ID will show. Press it again to switch between the users – user 1, 2 or guest.
Press the START/STOP button to confirm the user ID and then proceed to your measurement.

Before using your device
For an accurate result and the best insight into your blood pressure pat-tern, please measure using the same arm every time. It is recommended to use the left arm which has a better blood flow.

Take your blood pressure at the same time(s) every day.
Do not use the device in a cold environment.
Avoid hot drinks, caffeine, tobacco, food, alcohol, and strenuous exercises at least 30 minutes before taking your blood pressure.
Empty your bladder before taking your measurement.

Preparing the measurement
Before a measurement sit down and relax for 3 minutes. Let your blood pressure stabilize.

Make sure you remove all accessories from the wrist and arm (bracelets, watch, etc) before strapping the cuff to your arm.
Roll up your sleeve to reveal the skin of your upper arm and ensureb your sleeve isn’t too tight.
Hold your arm with your palm facing up and slide the cuff onto your upper arm approximately one inch above the bend in your elbow.
Position the tube off-center toward the inner side of the arm in line with the little finger. Or position the artery mark on the cuff over the main artery.
Fasten the cuff to your arm tightly but not painfully. There should be a one-finger space between the cuff and your skin.
Ensure that your test arm is resting on a flat surface, with your palm facing up.
Sit comfortably with your back straight and supported.
Keep your feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.

Taking a measurement

Breathe slowly 5 times and press the START/STOP button to begin the measurement. Keep your arm still.
First, the measured air pressure will calibrate to zero and then the cuff will inflate and start reading the blood pressure and heart rate.
The symbol should indicate meaning the cuff is correctly secur2ed. If the flashes that means there’s too much movement and you need to hold your arm still.
When the measurement has been completed, the results will appear on the screen. The measurement is also saved in the memory.
Remove the cuff and switch off the monitor.

Understanding the results

Upon completing your measurement, you will see on the display the 3 date and time of your reading, y 4 our systolic pressure 5e, diastolic pressure, heart r 7 ate, WHO blood pressure color indication, 8 user 1, 2 or guest who’s taking the measurement, 9 if you have an irregular heartbeat (See “Irregular Heartbeat” section for more) and details of y 10our prior measurement.

Basic info about blood pressure
Systolic pressure means that the ventricles contract and pump out blood, increasing the blood pressure. This is sometimes referred to as the “higher number”. The diastolic pressure means that the ventricles relax so the blood pressure decreases. This is sometimes referred to as the “lower number”.

WHO indicator
After each measurement, the indicator shows the corresponding cate-gory color on the right of the display. The colors represent the different categories of the World Health Organization blood pressure classification as depicted in the chart.
The indicator helps you quickly interpret the results of the measurement.
World Health Organization(WHO) and International Society of Hypertension(ISH)

Irregular heartbeat
The device is equipped with irregular heartbeat detection, IHB. The algorithm of the device compares the longest and shortest intervals of registered pulse waves (the time interval) and calculates the standard deviation. If the differences in the time intervals are more than 25% you have an irregular heartbeat and the IHB sign: will appear on the display. If the device detects irregular heartbeat during consecutive measure-ments and you are following the correct procedure, please consult your doctor.

Changes in blood pressure
There are many factors that cause fluctuations in blood pressure. Weather, emotions, stress, food, and physical activities, all these cause variations in blood pressure. Bear in mind that measuring in clinical settings tends to cause blood pressure to increase. This is called the “white coat effect”.

Using the memory function
Make sure that the date and time are set correctly. (See “Setting up the device” section)

Every measurement is automatically saved in the memory. It has a maximum capacity of 500 (250 x 2 users) measurements. To view the recorded data press the MEM button while the monitor is inactive.
Once the button is pressed, one of the user symbols starts blinking. To switch to the other user, press the SET button.
It will display the average value of the last 3 records first (if taken within a 30-minute period) and indicated by the AVG symbol.
Use the MEM and SET buttons to go through the previous records. Note: The most recent record is shown first followed by the previous measurements.

Deleting the records
If you want to delete one of your recorded measurements, follow these steps:

Make sure the monitor is inactive; press the START/STOP button to put it off if needed.
Press MEM to go to Memory. One of the user symbols will start blinking.
To switch to the other user, press the SET button.
Use the MEM and SET buttons to find the record you want to delete.
Press and hold the START/STOP button for 3 seconds.
