Intended use of the BPM-337 blood pressure monitor

The BPM-337 is a digital monitor that is used for measuring blood pressure and heart rate by cuffi ng the device around wrists of diff erent sizes from 5 ˝-8½˝ (13.5cm to 21.5 cm). The BPM-337 is intended for home use and for adults only.

How this device works

The product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect blood pressure. When the measurement is started, it calibrates to “zero pressure” which is the natural air pressure. As soon as it starts infl ating the wrist cuff , the device detects the pressure  oscillations according to the beat-to-beat pulsatile and so it determines the systolic, diastolic pressure and the heart rate.

Irregular Heart Beat detection

The device is equipped with irregular heart beat 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 diff erences in the time intervals are more than 25% you have an irregular heartbeat and the IHB  sign will appear in the display. If the device detects irregular heartbeat during consecutive measurements and you are following the correct procedure, please consult your doctor.

CAUTIONS

• Adult-use ONLY;
• Non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure;
• Use only on the WRIST!
• Consult your doctor about the use of this device;
• When the pressure on the cuff exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically defl ate;
• If the unit doesn’t defl ate when exceeding the 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the wrist and press the START/STOP button to stop infl ation;
• Do not use the monitor under conditions of strong electromagnetic fi elds;
• Electromagnetic fi elds will interfere with the signal and electrically fast transient/burst signal;
• The maximum temperature that the applied part can achieve is 42.5 ºC while the environmental temperature is 40 ºC;
• The device is not AP/APG equipment;
• It is not suitable for use in the presence of a fl ammable anesthetic mixture with air (or oxygen, nitrous oxide);
• Keep the Unit OUT OF REACH of infants, children or pets since inhalation or swallowing of small parts is dangerous or even fatal;
• Use only accessories or detachable parts specifi ed and authorized by the Manufacturer;
• This Device should NOT be used on females suspected of pregnancy or pregnant! It may provide inaccurate readings and can have eff ects on the fetus.
• If you are suff ering from arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature heartbeats or atrial fi brillation the measurement results can be incoherent. In this case please consult your physician about the results.

Extra notes on the device

• The unit should not be used for prolonged monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.
• The cuff being infl ated for a prolonged time will lead to numb ness of wrist and fi ngers, causing anesthesia, pain and ecchymosis.
• Use the device according to the instructions of this manual to guarantee an effi cient performance and durability of the device.
• The cuff complies with the requirements of ISO 10993-5:2009 and ISO 10993-10:2010.
• The cuff does not cause any potential allergic reaction or contact injury.
• There is no need for calibration during the two years of ‘ guaranteed service.

How to Install and Replace Batteries:

1. Open the battery cover
2. Insert the two AAA batteries conform the right polarity
3. Close the battery cover

Setting Up the Device

Firstly, make sure you set the time and data correctly so the device can register the results with the correct time.

1. With the monitor OFF, press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds. It will enter the SETTINGS Mode.
2. Press or hold the MEM button to adjust the Hour digits that are blinking on the display. Press SET to confi rm.
3. Repeat step 2 for setting the Minutes; Month; Day and Year.
4. Press SET one more time to select the desired measurement unit. Probably “mmhg”.
5. Once the Year is set, the display will show “mmHg”. This is the standard measurement unit. Press SET to save. Or press MEM to change to “kPa” and then press SET to save.
6. Once the measurement unit is set, the LCD will show “DONE” and the device will shut off .

Preparing the measurement

Before tying the cuff to your wrist, make sure you remove all accessories from the wrist (bracelets, watch, etc.). Use the device on the wrist that doesn’t have poor circulation.

1. Roll up the sleeve to reveal the skin of the wrist.
2. Make sure to tie the cuff to 0,4”-0,6” (1-1.5cm) from your wrist joints.
3. Tie the cuff to your wrist and keep the palm facing up.
4. Tie the cuff to your wrist tightly but not painfully.
5. Place your elbow on a table and make sure that the wrist is at the same level with your heart.
6. Rest 3 minutes; keep your palm upwards, back straight and breathe deeply for 5 or 6 times before starting the measurement.

Taking a measurement

1. After resting press the Start Button and the measuring procedure will start.
2. First the measured air pressure will calibrate to zero and then the device will infl ate and start reading the blood pressure and heart rate.
3. When the measurement is completed the results will appear in the screen. The measurement is also saved in the memory.

Tips and Timing

• Make sure you do not move or speak and that you are in a silent room during a measurement.
• Do not cross your legs during the measurement.
• Do not use the device in a toilet or while doing any sort of activity including talking or moving.
• Do not use the device in a cold environment.
• To get insight in the trend of your blood pressure, it is best to measure your blood pressure at about the same time(s) every day.
• For accurate results, avoid using the device within 1 Hour after eating.
• You shouldn’t measure immediately after drinking tea or coffee and after smoking.
• Avoid measuring after 30 minutes of taking a shower or bath.
• For an accurate and clear result, please measure the same wrist every time. Blood circulation may diff er from wrist to wrist so you can get a diff erent result when you change wrists.

Using the memory function

• Make sure that the date and time is set correctly.
• Every measurement is automatically saved in the memory, with a maximum capacity of 60 measurements;
• To view the recorded data press the MEM button while the monitor is inactive. If the monitor is not yet inactive, first deactivate it by pressing the start/stop button.
• Use the buttons MEM for Up and Set for Down to read through the records.

Deleting the records
In case you want to delete your recorded measurements, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure the monitor is inactive; press START/STOP if needed.
2. Press MEM to go to Memory.
3. Press and hold the MEM button for 3 seconds.
4. “DEL ALL” will start blinking. Press SET to confi rm.
5. “DEL DONE” will show, meaning the stored data is deleted. The device will shut off .

Keeping the device safe

Please make sure to place the device away from the sun. Store it in a dry place. When you want to clean the device, you should use a dry cloth. Do not place it in water or clean it with wet cloths. Also, be careful not to shake or throw the device. For a better performance, keep it in a room with stable temperature and away from dust. The cuff should not be cleaned as it may aff ect the accuracy of the reading.

Basic info about Blood Pressure

Systolic pressure means that the ventricles contract and pump out blood, increasing the blood pressure. The diastolic pressure means that the ventricles relax so the blood pressure decreases.

AHA indicator
After each measurement an arrow indicates the corresponding category color on the left of the display. The colors represent the different categories of the American Heart Association blood pressure classification as depicted in the chart below.

Blood Pressure Category| Systolic mm HG (upper#)| | Diastolic mm Hg (lower#)
---|---|---|---
Normal| less than 120| and| less than 80
Prehypertension| 120-139| or| 80-89
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) Stage 1| 140-159| or| 90-99
High Blood Pressure (hypertension) Stage 2| 160 or higher| or| 100 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed)| Higher than 180| or| Higher than 100

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