Safety NoticeContents

Thank you for purchasing the BP3600 Blood Pressure Monitor. The unit has been constructed using reliable circuitry and durable materials. Used properly, this unit will provide years of satisfactory use.

The device is intended for use by individuals 12 years and older to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. All values can be read out in one LCD DISPLAY. Measurement position is on adult upper arm only.

Blood pressure measurement determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/ stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard (ANSI/AAMI Sp10) for electronic sphygmomanometers.

Precautions to Ensure Safe, Reliable Operation

1. Do not drop the unit. Protect it from sudden jars or shocks.

2. Do not insert foreign objects into any openings.

3. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.

4. Do not crush the pressure cuff.

5. If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0°C, leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes before using it. Otherwise, the cuff may not inﬂate properly.

6. Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity or dust.

7. To avoid any possibility of accidental strangulation, keep this unit away from children

and do not drape tubing around your neck.

8. Ensure that children do not use the instrument unsupervised; some parts are small

enough to be swallowed.

9. Some may get a skin irritation from the cuff taking frequent readings over the course

of the day, but this irritation typically goes away on its own after the monitor is removed.

Safety Notice

Important Instructions Before Use

1. Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. Blood pressure measurements should only be interpreted by a health professional who is familiar with your medical history.

2. Contact your physician if test results regularly indicate abnormal readings.

3. If you are taking medication, consult with your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. NEVER change a prescribed medication without ﬁrst consulting with your physician.

4. Individuals with serious circulation problems may experience discomfort. Consult your physician prior to use.

5. For persons with irregular or unstable circulation resulting from diabetes, liver disease, arteriosclerosis or other medical conditions, there may be variations in blood pressure values measured at the wrist versus at the upper arm. Monitoring the trends in your blood pressure taken at either the arm or the wrist is nevertheless useful and important.

6. People suffering from vascular constriction, liver disorders or diabetes, people with cardiac pacemakers or a weak pulse, and women who are pregnant should consult their physician before measuring their blood pressure themselves. Different values may be obtained due to their condition.

7. People suffering from arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial ﬁbrillation only use this blood pressure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In certain cases oscillometric measurement method can produce incorrect readings.

8. Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood ﬂow interference.

9. The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.

10. DO NOT attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inﬂation can temporarily block blood ﬂow, potentially causing harm to the patient.

11. The cuff should not be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the case of a double mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.

12. Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used monitoring equipment on the same limb

13. A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cuff pressure resulting in blood ﬂow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient.

14. Check that operation of the unit does not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation of the patient.

15. Product is designed for its intended use only. Do not misuse in any way.

16. Product is not intended for infants or individuals who cannot express their intentions.

17. Any hazards associated with prolonged overinﬂation of the bladder.

18. Do not disassemble the unit or arm cuff. Do not attempt to repair.

19. Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect measurement results.

20. The system might produce incorrect readings if stored or used outside the manufacturer’s speciﬁed temperature and humidity ranges.

21. Do not use cell phones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic ﬁelds, near the device, as they may cause incorrect readings and interference or become interference source to the device.

22. Do not mix new and old batteries simultaneously

23. Replace batteries when Low Battery Indicator appears on screen. Replace both batteries at the same time.

24. Do not mix battery types. Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended.

25. Remove batteries from device when not in operation for more than 3 months.

26. Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

27. Dispose batteries properly; observe local laws and regulations.

28. Only use a recommended AC adapter complying with EN 60601-1 and EN 60601-1-2. An unauthorized adapter may cause ﬁre and electric shock.

Troubleshooting Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries. It is typically

Problem

Blood pressure results are not within typical range

Possible Cause

Cuff is too tight or not properly positioned on the arm

Inaccurate test results due to body movement or monitor movement

Cuff fails to inﬂate properly

Solution

Firmly reposition cuff approximately 1-2cm (1/2”) above the elbow joint (See Page 11)

Sit in a relaxed position with arm placed near heart. Avoid speaking or moving body parts while testing. Make sure the monitor unit is placed in a stationary position throughout the testing period. ( See Page 8)

Make sure hose is properly fastened to cuff and monitor unit

measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg.) Systolic blood pressure is the maximum force exerted against blood vessel walls each time the heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure is the force exerted on blood vessels when the heart is resting between beats.

An individual’s blood pressure frequently changes throughout the course of a day. Excitement and tension can cause blood pressure to rise, while drinking alcohol and bathing can lower blood pressure. Certain hormones like adrenaline (which your body releases under stress) can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a rise in blood pressure.

If these measuring numbers become too high, it means the heart is working harder than it should.

Health Reminder

Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality of life. It can lead to a lot of problems including heart failure, kidney failure, and cerebral hemorrhaging. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visiting your physician on a regular basis, hypertension and relative diseases are much easier to control when diagnosed in their early stages.

Note: Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs. A better indication of an individual’s blood pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time each day over an extended period of time. Consult your physician if test results remain abnormal.

Blood Pressure Q＆& A Maintenance

Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at home or at a professional

1. Avoid dropping, slamming, or throwing the unit.

healthcare clinic?

A: Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a more accurate account

as they better reﬂect your daily life. Readings can be elevated when taken in a clinical or medical environment. This is known as White Coat Hypertension and may be caused by feeling anxious or nervous.

Note: Abnormal test results may be caused by:

1. Improper cuff placement Make sure cuff is snug-not too tight or too loose. Make sure bottom of the cuff is approximately 1-2cm (1/2’’) above the elbow joint.

2. Improper body position Make sure to keep your body in an upright position.

2. Avoid extreme temperatures. Do not expose unit directly under sunshine.

3. Feeling anxious or nervous Take 2-3 deep breaths, wait a few minutes and resume testing.

Q: What causes different readings?

A: Blood pressure varies throughout the course of a day. Many factors including diet, stress,

cuff placement, etc. may affect an individual’s blood pressure.
