SENCOR SBP 100 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Instruction Manual

SBP 100 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
Instruction Manual

SBP 100 is a blood pressure monitor that maximizes the reading accuracy of blood pressure through the artery in your wrist echoed from the heart. It detects arrhythmia symptoms and displays the symbol „ “ on LCD. If the arrhythmia symptoms symbol is displayed, you are recommended to consult with a doctor. Please do not interpret Blood pressure measurements including arrhythmia symptoms by yourselves. The reading should be interpreted by a physician or a trained health professional who is familiar with your medical history. By using the device regularly, and recording the results for your physician to interpret, you keep your physician informed of the continuing trends in your blood pressure.
The measuring accuracy of SBP 100 was tested at the time of manufacture and was proven by clinical research in accordance with AANI/ANSI-SP10.

What you should know about blood pressure

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure varies during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE; the lowest is DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE. Both pressure readings, the SYSTOLIC and DIASTOLIC, are necessary to enable a physician to evaluate the status of a patient‘s blood pressure. Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure constantly changes throughout the day. It rises sharply in the early morning and declines during the late morning. Blood pressure rises again in the afternoon and finally drops to a low level at night. Also, it may vary in a short period of time. Therefore, reading from successive measurements can be fluctuate.

Why is it important to measure your Blood Pressure at home?
Blood pressure measured in a doctor’s office only provides a momentary value. Repeated measurements at home better reflect one’s actual blood pressure values under everyday conditions.
Moreover, many people have a different pressure when they measure at home because they tend to be more relaxed than when in the doctor’s office.
Regular blood pressure measurements taken at home can provide your doctor with valuable information on your normal blood pressure values under actual“Everyday” conditions.

The World Health Organization(WHO) Blood Pressure Classifications
WHO has set up the following standard blood pressure values when measured at resting pulse.

Blood| Normal values| Mild hypertension| Severe hypertension
---|---|---|---
Pressure(mmHg)| | |
SYS =Systole =
upper value| up to 140| 140 —180| over 180
DIA =Diastole=
lower value| up to 90| 90 —110| over 110

What are arrhythmias?
The heart is a pump that functions by pushing the blood through its four chambers. The blood is„pushed“ through in a controlled sequence of muscular contractions.
The sequence is controlled by bundles of cells that control the electrical activity of the heart. When the sequence is disturbed, heart arrhythmias occur.
Arrhythmias are abnormal rhythms of the heart. They cause the heart to pump blood less effectively. Most cardiac arrhythmias are temporary and benign. Most temporary and benign arrhythmias are those where your heart skips a beat or has an extra beat. These occasional changes can be brought on by strong emotions or exercise.
Nonetheless, some arrhythmias may be life-threatening and require treatment.

Symptoms?
Symptoms of Arrhythmia overall: Palpitations or rapid thumping in your chest, feeling tired or light-headed, losing consciousness, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
Symptoms of bradycardia: feeling tired, short of breath, dizzy, or faint.
Symptoms of tachycardia: heartbeat might feel like a strong pulse in your neck, or a fluttering, racing beat in your chest, feelings of discomfort, weakness, shortness of breath, faint,  sweaty, and dizzy.

Can arrhythmia be treated?
Treatment of arrhythmia depends on the type of arrhythmia, the patient’s age, physical condition, and age. Methods are available for the prevention of arrhythmia. These methods include relaxation techniques to reduce stress and limit intake of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and stimulant drugs. Many arrhythmias require no treatment, they are naturally controlled by the body‘s immune system. However, if it is necessary that arrhythmias must be controlled, they can be controlled by drugs, cardioversion, automatic implantable defibrillators, or an artificial pacemaker. Arrhythmias are very serious. They cause nearly 250,000 deaths in the United States each year. Arrhythmias that start in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles) are more serious than those that start in the upper chambers (the atria).

Arrhythmia statistics

• During a 24-hour period, about 20% of healthy adults are likely to have multiple types of premature ventricular beats
• As many as 2 million Americans are living with arterial fibrillation, a type of arrhythmia

Caution

• To ensure accurate measuring results, carefully read these user instructions.

• This product is intended for household use only. Keep products and batteries away from children.

• People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in extremities, diabetes, or users of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure themselves, since deviations in blood pressure values may occur in such cases.

• If you are under medical treatment or taking any medication, please consult your doctor first.

• This device is designed to make automatically rapid exhaust if cuff pressure is 320mmHg or more.
  If the cuff doesn’t make automatically rapid exhaust when cuff pressure is 320mmHg or more, please detach the cuff from the wrist.

• The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your doctor.

Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement

1. Always take readings at the same time of day, ideally in the morning, under the same conditions.
2. Do not measure within 30 minutes after smoking, coffee, or tea consumption.
3. Take off wrist watch and jewelry before fitting the monitor on the measuring arm.
4. While taking a measurement, sit down, relax, keep still, especially the hand of the measuring arm, and do not move or speak.
5. Hold the monitor at the heart level.
6. Wait approximately 3 minutes to undertake wrist cuff before repeating measurements.

Operation guide

See the steps below for your convenience.

Parts identification

Inserting batteries

1. If the Low Battery Indicator appears on the display, replace both batteries.

2. Inserting batteries
   • Use alkaline batteries, type LR03(AAA) as supplied with this product.
   • Remove the battery compartment cover and insert two batteries with the correct polarity (see a symbol in the battery compartment).
   • New batteries will provide approximately 200 measurements.

Only discard empty batteries. They should not be disposed of in the household waste, but at appropriate collection sites or at your retailer.

Attaching pressure cuff

Fasten the monitor on the palm side of your wrist, roughly 2 cm below the palm line as shown. Make sure that the cuff fits tightly and wraps correctly & formally to get an accurate reading.

Note
Please use only a cuff supplied by SENCOR.
Using other cuffs may impede measurement.

Correct measurement position

Measurement values vary according to your posture. Measure your blood pressure in the sitting position.

• Place your elbow on a table or other object.

• Use the storage case to position the arm so that the pressure cuff is at the same height as the heart.
  Make sure that the cuff is not stuck on the storage case for smooth inflation.

• Open your hand and fingers slightly, and relax.

• Blood pressure will vary in relation to the level of the cuff from the heart. A 10cm difference will result in an 8mmHg measurement error.

• Relax your hand with the palm facing up snugly.
  Note
  Your heart is located slightly below your armpit.
  For successive readings, wait for 3 to 5 minutes between measurements.

• Waiting allows the engorged blood vessels to return to normal before each new measurement is taken.

How to measure

Please read “Key rules for accurate blood pressure measurement” “Correct measurement position” and “Attaching pressure cuff” before taking measurement.

Turn power on

• When Power is turned on, all display symbols appear for approximately 1 second.
• The display symbols disappear and the ready symbol(- – -) starts to flash. If the air exits in the cuff, the air is released automatically while the “- – -” symbol displays.
