Before using WatchBP Office
R
Selecting the correct cuff
Two different cuff sizes are provided with the
WatchBP Office: Medium and Large. Select the cuff
size that best matches the circumference of the
patient’s upper arm.
M (Medium size)
22 - 32 cm (8.75 - 12.5 inches)
M is the correct size for most people.
L (Large size)
32-42 cm (12.5-16.5 inches)
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff
connector into the cuff connector socket.
10
Fitting the cuff properly
1) Place the cuff over the left (right) upper arm so
that the air tube and artery mark arrow point
toward the lower arm.
2) Lay the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the lower
edge of the cuff lies approximately ¾” to 1”(2 to
3cm) above the elbow.
2–3cm
3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4) Leave a little free space between the arm and
the cuff. The patient should be able to fit 2 fingers
between the arm and the cuff. Clothing must not
restrict the arm. Remove all clothing covering or
constricting the measurement arm.
5) Cuffs that do not fit properly can result in
incorrect blood pressure measurements. Use a
different size cuff if the range Index at the end of
the cuff does not fall into the range specified by
the range stripes.
6) Apply the same steps to the other arm if a double
arm measurement is required.
The range index of cuff should
*
be fallen into this range.

«1st VISIT» Mode
Select «1st VISIT» Mode to complete a fully-
automated triple measurement on both arms
according to recommended ESH/AHA blood
pressure measurement protocols for a patient’s
first office visit.
Simultaneous dual-arm measurements
In «1st VISIT» Mode, the WatchBP Office device
measures the patient’s blood pressure on both arms
simultaneously, helping to determine the preferred
measurement arm and reveal other potential
cardiovascular risks.

Three operation modes (cont.)
Automated triple measurement
In «1st VISIT» Mode, the WatchBP Office device
automatically takes three consecutive measurements
at one minute* intervals by default. The result of
these three measurements are averaged to produce
the first visit blood pressure measurement.

Determine proper measurement arm
If the measurement result between the two arms
differs more than 20mmHg for Systolic or 10mmHg
for Diastolic for all three measurements, the device
will indicate the higher measurement arm by a
flashing L or R.
The higher arm should be used as the preferred
measurement arm for future measurements.
«FOLLOW-UP» Mode
Select «FOLLOW-UP» Mode to complete a fully-
automated triple measurement on the preferred
measurement arm. According to recommended
ESH/AHA blood pressure measurement protocols for
follow-up blood pressure measurement.
Automated triple measurement
In «FOLLOW-UP» Mode, the WatchBP Office
device automatically takes three consecutive
measurements at one minute intervals by default.

Special Functions
Hiding measurement values
The WatchBP Office device features a “Hide” function
in order to prevent unnecessary elevated blood
pressure in patients due to nervousness triggered by
visible blood pressure measurements.
This feature is only available in follow up mode
*
When the «Hide»
*
function is ON, the
countdown between
each measurement and
the Hide icon will be
displayed.
Please make sure the
*
Bluetooth switch is in OFF
position, otherwise the
«Hide» function can not
be set.

2) Select ON or OFF – Press the M Button again to
turn the “Hide” function ON or OFF.
3) Confirm – Press Start/Stop to confirm the setting.
The «1st VISIT» Mode “Hide” default setting is set to ON
*
and cannot be set to OFF.
MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)
The WatchBP Office device measures the mean
arterial pressured (MAP) of the patient. Each
measurement includes the calculation of a single
MAP value. The average measurement will display
the average MAP value. When viewing in Memory
mode, the MAP value will be displayed with the
systolic/diastolic pressure once every 5 seconds.
PP (Pulse Pressure)
The WatchBP Office device measures the pulse
pressure (PP) of the patient: pulse pressure = systolic
- diastolic pressure. Each measurement includes
the calculation of a single PP value. The average
measurement will display the average PP value.
When viewing in Memory mode, the PP value will be
displayed with the systolic/diastolic pressure once
every 5 seconds.
