How to take a blood pressure measurement

1. Sit down in a comfortable position, legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, arm and back supported. Uncover your left arm. Rest for 5 minutes before the first measurement.
2. Unroll the cuff. Place your left arm inside it. The button should be closer to your elbow, and the Withings logo should be closer to your shoulder.
3. Tighten the cuff around your arm. The stethoscope should be facing the rib cage, with the metal tube facing down about one inch above the elbow.
4. Close the cuff at an angle if needed to ensure there are no gaps on both the top and bottom.
5. Place your left arm on a table with the cuff at heart level and your palm facing up. Make sure the cuff is not touching the left side of your chest. Your arm should be resting comfortably on the table. Do not speak or move during the measurement.
6. Press the button to turn on the blood pressure monitor. You can select a single or triple measurement with a long press on the button. Press the button again to start the measurement.
7. If an error message appears on screen, please refer to the troubleshooting explanation described on page 17, or see the Help Center section available in the Health Mate app.

LED colors

The LED on BPM Connect may appear:
Blue: If BPM Connect hasn’t yet been paired with a mobile device.
Green: If you have normal and optimal blood pressure measurements. The LED may also appear green if BPM Connect has been paired with a mobile device.
Orange: If you have high normal blood pressure measurements. The LED may also appear orange if the battery is low. You can still take a measurement.
Red: If hypertension (grade 1, 2, 3) or isolated systolic hypertension are detected. The LED may also appear red if BPM Connect does not have a battery, or if there is an error during the blood pressure measurement.
Pink: Press and hold the monitor button for 6 seconds until “System” displays on the screen. The LED may also appear purple during firmware updates or when BPM Connect has undergone a factory reset.
Note: The LED color displayed on the device may vary depending on the classification guidelines of your country. Please go to support.withings.com for more information on blood pressure measurement classification.

Important information

Requirements
In order to use your BPM Connect, you need an iOS (10.0 or higher) or Android (6.0 and higher) device to install it. Thereafter, the product can be used without your mobile device on you, thanks to the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® connections.
Important safety information
Consult your doctor during pregnancy, or if you suffer from arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis. Please read this section carefully before using the BPM Connect Wi-Fi Smart Blood Pressure Monitor.
Intended use
The BPM Connect is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and heart rate. The device is intended to be used in a human adult population with an arm circumference of 9 inches to 17 inches (22 cm to 42 cm). BPM Connect is a medical device. Contact your physician if hypertensive values are indicated.

General safety and precautions
– Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff.
– Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
– Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to the blood pressure monitor or drop it.
– Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising or eating.
– Do not immerse the arm cuff in water.
– Do not use a pacemaker, a defibrillator or other electric implant.
– Use on adults only.
– Do not use it on children or pets.
Android is a trademark of Google Inc. iOS is a trademark of Apple Inc.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the equipment or system, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol.

Caution

General usage
Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self- treatment are dangerous. People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders should consult a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor. Cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding. Operational factors such as common arrhythmias, ventricular premature beats, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy, pre-eclampsia or renal disease can affect the performance of the automated sphygmomanometer and/or its blood pressure reading. This is a precision measuring device that may be understood by lay users,  but should still be handled with care. Exposing the device to prolonged lint, dust or sunlight might reduce its life or damage it. A damaged cuff or sensor may lead to incorrect measurements. The USB port should only be used for recharging the device. The user is an intended operator. Parts in contact with the skin: cuff. Measurements can be affected by extreme temperatures, humidity & altitude. Following REACH Regulation 1907/2006, there is an open risk on plomb and D6.

– Do not leave the blood pressure monitor unattended with infants or people who cannot express their consent.
– Do not use the blood pressure monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure, recording an ECG, and recording heart sounds.
– Do not disassemble the blood pressure monitor.
– Do not operate the blood pressure monitor in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
– Do not use the device with the USB cable plugged in.
– Improper continuous pressure of cuff or too-frequent measurements may interfere with blood flow and result in injury to the user. Check to ensure that the use of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of your blood circulation.
– Do not apply the cuff over the user’s arm if it has a wound or medical treatment, as this can cause further injury.
– Consult your physician before using this monitor if you have had a mastectomy.
– Use of the device can temporarily cause the loss of function of equipment that is used simultaneously on the same limb.

After use

Cleaning
– Do not use an alcohol-based or solvent agent to clean the device.
– Clean the device with a soft and dry cloth.
– The dirt on the cuff can be cleaned with a damp cloth and soap.
– Do not flush the device and cuff with a lot of water.
– Do not dismantle the device, disconnect the cuff, or try to repair it by yourself. If a problem occurs, please check with the distributor.
– Do not operate the device in a severe environment of extreme temperature, humidity, or direct sunshine.
– Do not shake the unit violently.
– Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water.
– Do not use the device after a strong shock, such as dropping the unit on the floor.

Storage
– Store the device and the components in a clean and safe location.
– If storage conditions are different from the usage conditions indicated in this document, please wait 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Maintenance
If you cannot fix the problem using the troubleshooting instructions, request service from your dealer. The manufacturer will make available on request circuit diagrams, component part lists, descriptions, calibration instructions, or other information that will assist the manufacturer’s staff or authorized representative with the repair. It is generally recommended to have the device inspected every 2 years to ensure proper functioning and accuracy. Do not use the device while doing maintenance steps.
