Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Kogan Smart Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor. The
monitor features blood pressure measurements, pulse rate measurement and
result storage.
Features
85.5 x 24mm Blue LCD Display with white back light.
Measure-during-inflating technology.
Up to 60 results stored.
Measurement Principle
This product uses the oscillometric measuring method to detect blood pressure.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero point” equivalent to the
atmospheric pressure, then it will start inflating the cuff.
Meanwhile, the unit will detect the pressure oscillation generated by your pulse,
which is then used to determine the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure as
well as pulse rate.
The device also compares the longest and shortest intervals in the pulse waves
and compares it to the average value, then calculates the standard deviation.
The monitor will light up a warning symbol when the calculated standard
deviation is larger than or equal to 15.

About Blood Pressure
What is systolic and diastolic pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump
blood out of the heart, the blood
pressure reaches its maximum value in
the cycle, which is called systolic
pressure.
When the ventricles relax, the blood
pressure reaches its minimum value in
the cycle, which is called diastolic
pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The blood pressure classification
published by the World Health
Organisation (WHO) and
International Society of
Hypertension (ISH) in 1999 is
shown at right.
Note: only your doctor can tell
your normal BP range. Please
contact your doctor if your
measurement result falls outside
of this range.
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
This Blood Pressure Monitor is equipped with an intelligent function of the Irregular Heartbeat
(IHB) Detector. During each measurement, this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and
works out the standard deviation. If the calculated value is larger than, or equal to 15, then the
equipment will light up the IHB symbol on the screen when displaying the measurement result.
Note: the appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity is consistent with an
irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a cause for concern. If
the symbol appears often, then we recommend that you seek medical advice. Please note that
this device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an
early stage.
11
Why does my blood pressure fluctuate throughout the day?
1. Individual blood pressure varies throughout the day due to
activity, weather and well-being. It is also affected by the
way you tie your cuff and your measurement position, so
please take the measurement in the same conditions when
possible.
2. The pressure varies if the patient is on medication.
3. Ensure you wait at least 3 minutes after taking a reading
before taking another.
Why is my result at hospital different to my result at home?
Blood pressure can differ within 24 hours due to weather, emotion, exercise etc..
The presence and stress of being in a hospital can often cause higher results than the ones
measured in the relaxed confines of your own home.
When measuring at home, pay attention to the following points:
• Check the cuff is tied properly.
• Check if the cuff is too tight or too loose.
• Check that the cuff is applied to the upper arm.
• If feeling anxious or pressured, take 2 or 3 deep breaths before beginning.
Is the result the same if measured on the right arm?
Blood pressure can be taken on either arm, however by swapping between arms you will get
differing results. It is suggested that you measure the same arm every time.
