USER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Wrist Blood-Pressure Monitor
(BPW128). This unit has been constructed using reliable circuitry
and durable materials. Used properly, this unit will provide years of
satisfactory use.

Before use please note:

- This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and

monitoring of arterial blood pressure. Designed for use on
the wrist, it is not intended for use on other extremities or
for other functions other than obtaining a blood-pressure
measurement.

- If the cuff pressure exceeds 300mmHg, this unit will

automatically deflate. Should the cuff not deflate when
pressures exceeds 300mmHg, the user is required to detach
the cuff from the wrist.

- Do not begin medical treatment based solely on obtained

measurement values from this device. Consult a physician
for treatment advice.

- To avoid measurement errors, read this manual carefully

before use.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE CE

SYMBOL

This device complies with the European regulations based on the
Medical Products Code, and bears the CE mark “CE0123”. The
device has been quality inspected according to EG guideline
93/42/EWG and tested in compliance to the EN1060-1
Non-invasive sphygmomanometers-Part 1, General requirements
and EN1060-3 Non-invasive sphygmomanometers-Part 3:
Supplementary requirements for electromechanical blood
pressure measuring systems. It is therefore not subject to
calibration regulations and does not bear a calibration stamp.

The CE mark further indicates that this blood pressure monitor
meets the general requirements for electronic products as regards
resistance to electromagnetic interference. Malfunctioning may
however occur in the proximity of extremely strong
electromagnetic fields.

In accordance with the “Ordinance for Operators of Medical
Products”, a technical inspection must be carried out if this
device is used for industrial or commercial purposes.

PROPER EQUIPMENT SETUP

1. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc. prior to attaching the wrist monitor. Clothing sleeves should be rolled up and the cuff should be wrapped
on bare skin for correct measurements.

2. Apply cuff to left wrist with palm facing up.

3. Make sure the edge of the cuff is about 1 cm from the plam.

4. In order to ensure accurate measurements, fasten the velcro strap securely around your wrist so there is no extra space between the cuff
and the wrist. If the cuff is not wrapped tight enough, the measurement values will be inaccurate.

5. The measurement values will be correct even if you wrap the cuff askew.

6. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation on your left arm, carefully place the cuff around your right wrist.

Systolic (mmHg)

WHAT IS MEAN ARTERIAL PRESSURE

(MAP)

The Mean Arterial Pressure is the average pressure forcing blood
through the arteries. It is not the average of the systolic and diastolic
blood pressure. It corresponds to a state of balance between the
compressive and expansive forces acting on the arterial wall when
there is no distension of the arterial wall, either outward or inward.

MAP is an excellent way to evaluate the stress on the walls of the
vessels. It is useful to quickly evaluate excessive load on the
cardiovascular system. Show the history of the MAP to your doctor
may help providing more information for his reference to understand
your situation.

Important:

!

Consult your doctor on Mean Arterial Pressure.

OSCILLOMETRIC MEASURING METHOD

This device adopts the Oscillometric Measuring Method to provide
readings of not only Diastolic and Systolic blood pressure, but also,
unique, Mean Arterial Pressure. The Oscillometric Measuring Method
was first described by Marey in the late 1800s, several decades
before Korotkoffs description of the auscultatory method. The

Oscillometric Measuring Method is a good means to determine the

systolic / diastolic / mean blood pressure based on the measurement
of pressure oscillation during the cuff pressure deflation phase.

MEASUREMENT

With the individual in a sitting position and with the cuff attached as
previously mentioned, a blood pressure reading can be obtained.

Note:

- For accurate pressure measurement, take blood-pressure

readings in a seated position. Avoid leaning back while
the measurement is being taken.

- Ensure that the lower arm is raised so that the upper edge

of the cuff is on the same level as the heart.

- Ideally, place the palm of the hand facing upwards.

+

+

- In order to ensure a proper measurement, sit quietly and

avoid talking and moving the fingers and hand. Rapid
movements or other activities may alter blood pressure
readings.

- At any time, to stop the pressurizing process, press the

"

"Button; the cuff will stop inflating and air will exhaust

from the unit.

MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND CARE

When handled properly, this unit is engineered to give years of
satisfactory service.

Here are a few product care instructions:

- When not in use, store the unit in the protective plastic container

provided with your purchase.

- Do not immerse the unit in water. If the unit comes in contact with
water, dry it immediately with a soft lint-free cloth.

- The unit casing and the cuff may be carefully cleaned with a soft,
slightly moistened cloth. Do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaning agents which might damage the device.

- Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for long
periods of time.

- When replacing batteries, use new batteries as specified in this
instruction manual. Do not mix new and old batteries.

- Do not place objects on the cuff, or the main unit.

- Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature,

or humidity. Such treatment may result in malfunction, a shorter
electronic life span, damaged batteries or distorted parts.

- Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so will
terminate the unit’s warranty and may cause damage. The unit
contains no user-serviceable parts.

- If, one day, the device should not be required for further use,
protect the environment by bringing it to your dealer or designated
collection point for proper disposal.

IMPORTANT ADVICE - RETAIN FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE

For meaningful comparisons, it is suggested to measure the blood
pressure under similar conditions. For example, daily measurements
should be taken at approximately the same time or as suggested by
a medical professional. Physical activity may affect blood pressure;
rest about 5 minutes before obtaining a blood pressure measurement.

Blood pressure measurements are not a treatment. Initiating treatment
or making changes to a treatment regime should not be implemented
without first consulting a physician.

Measurement error will be indicated on the display. Check the cuff
and tubing for possible kinks or air leaks. Before attempting a

14

measurement again, ensure that the cuff is properly attached, the arm
is in the proper position and that movement has been minimized
during the measurement process.

If the device does not function:

- Check that the unit is on. After about 3 minutes of inactivity,

the unit will automatically turn off.

- Ensure that batteries are properly inserted. Batteries may be

exhausted and require replacement. A battery-low indicator

] will display to indicate that batteries are low and need

[

changing.

Measurement errors may occur in persons with very low blood
pressure or heart-rhythm irregularities. For individuals with special
health conditions consult a physician.

Note:

This device is intended for adult use only. Do not use
this unit on children without first consulting a physician.
